FS9Evo: Crossing the Atlantic - the classic way

[HaraldG 559]

... with my old DC-6, in four legs from Rio de Janeiro to Algiers. In fact, some more than just the Atlantic.

 

Leg 1: Good morning, Rio!

 

 

Getting into the air at the last meters of the runway, and then some nice cruising (following our given route) over Rio.

 

 

Yes, I'm trusting them.

 

Crossing Recife

 

Approaching Fernando de Noronha in deepest night. Next morning gives nice views -

Leg 2: Actually the Atlantic Ocean

 

 

And then water, just water, many hours, until the African coast comes in sight.

 

And this is our destination: Banjul, showing one third of the Gambian Army's Air Force.

 

Leg 3: Almost like flying into holidays - to Tenerife

 

 

In fact, I paused my flight for spending some holidays at Tenerife in real world. Wish I really could fly there... instead I did some simulated GA flying afterwards.

 

 

Leg 4: The last leg, from Tenerife to Algiers.

A snow-capped Teide and a rare visitor at GCTS:

 

 

The view onto my preferred beach

 

Tenerife...

 

... and Gran Canaria

 

Crossing Laayoune: from 1,001st night.

 

And finally Algiers. The tower building may have seen DC-6s in active service.

 

Thanks for watching!

Best regards,

Harald
