July 17, 20187 yr Rivers, Cities and - of course - castles! This is the same flight we did in October 2017, but with much nicer weather and summer textures. The flight plan has not been changed, the Pilots Guide has been updated, mainly to correct some misspellings... We start at the small airport of Betzdorf-Kirchen (EDKI) and visit many cities, castles, and monuments until we land at Speyer (EDRY). Landings en route include Bonn-Hangelar (EDKB), Merzbruck (EDKA), Dahlemer Binz (EDKV), Winningen (EDRK), Buchel AB (ETSB), Mainz-Finthen (EDRZ), Worms (EDFV), and Mannheim (EDFM). Flight PlanThe Pilots' Guide package contains flightplan files (P3D & GTN), and a short description of the POI we will see during the tour. It is available here. AircraftThe route has a length of about 280 NM. Cruising along with about 150 KIAS should be sufficient to finish the trip in time. I will use the A2A C182, but as always, the choice is yours! Scenery ORBX GES will greatly enhance the experience of flying in this part of Germany. Weather We will use real wx, if possible. If not, using historical weather from July 16, 2018, 12:00 UTC will get us nice VMC. Where & WhenDate and time: Saturday July 21, 2018. 18:00 UTC.

July 21, 20187 yr If you please, here are a couple of sources from last year's flight. First, if you are worried about having to take more than one approach into the final airport at Speyer, then you have company. Here is the 1999 arrival of the Ukrainian An‑22 into Speyer for display in the museum. You might like the Tecknik Museum Speyer's description of the details. The video is more dramatic: the cinematic Antonov film and the rougher Museum film. Then here is Gunter's reference to the very different arrival of the Lufthansa aircraft. "This is how the 747 got there." And finally, Bert posted: "This is the hotel that Ricki and I stayed at. Click on the map at the bottom for a detailed view" of the castles over which we shall fly. --Mike MacKuen
