Etihad EGCC to OMAA

[HighBypass 2,339]

I believe that Etihad operate twice daily flights from Manchester to Abu Dhabi. Time to take some self-loading cargo off on one of the mid evening flights then! About 20:10 takeoff. Good job there was low overcast so Old Trafford couldn't see us waving!

 

Taxiing out at a rainy Manchester

 

Quite busy for once. First time I've been told to line up position and hold (after the MD-80 had taken off).

 

Positive Rate!

 

Out from under the clag.

 

Lovely evening sunshine

 

Don't know about Blue, but the Moon is certainly rising.

 

Moonlit rivers.

 

Feet wet. Over the Gulf.

 

Dawn comes early at FL410

 

Somewhere on letdown.

 

Good approach.

 

Sorry! Left hand down a bit!

 

That's better.

Haha...done this flight 100's of times in real life, Manchester always looks like that! ))  

 

Great shots.
