New Year's Flight: Moscow - Tbilisi

[HaraldG 559]

First flight of the year: Moscow-Domodedovo to Tbilisi with the Tu-134.

 

Moscow: A weather to fly away

 

Interesting, though

 

Out of the soup

 

Just above river Don the clouds leave behind

 

Around Mineralnye Vody even the snow has gone. The snow capped Caucasus arises at the horizon.

 

Mt. Kasbek and the Tergi valley

 

No wonder that they grow wine in this valley

 

 

Approach to Tbilisi

 

 

Without words

 

 

Why can "he" use the red carpet; why not me?

 

The typical "environment" at Tbilisi Airport

 

 

Finally she has arrived at her home airport again.

 

...More fun to come!

 

Happy new year to all!

Great set/screens/story as usual!  :Applause:

 

AI?.....well out of the ball park!

 

Would love to use Photoshop Autolevels of the first shot to make the AI pop...but you've smashed it with the civil/military mix at Tbilisi.....top notch.   :wub:

Thanks Nils, HLJames and Ed for commenting and good wishes.

 

Unfortunately I have no Photoshop to edit the pictures further. They are left as they come out of the simulator. I hope you like them though.

I realized a strange effect of fading models in the last shot. Have to investigate the cause.

Are those Hind helicopters static or actual AI helicopters?

[HaraldG 559]

Yes, the helicopters are actually part of an AI setup. If interested, send me a PM please.
