June 19, 20196 yr Shalom and greetings all my pals, Presenting a nice simple trans Australia desert flight from YBAS Alice Springs Airport located 7 nautical miles south of Alice Springs in Northern Territory in Australia to YAYE Ayers Rock Airport located near Yulara about 20 minutes drive from Uluru (Ayers Rock). Fully boarded with passengers and ready for push back Starting engines after finished with push back Nice wing view of very early Aussie morning! Nice tail Entering into runway 30 for more taxi and backtrack Dig sunrise Backtracking on beginning of runway 30 Sorry cannot resist early Aussie sunrise Airborne and climbing to 14,000 ft for short hop flight with background view of Australian highway route number 87 also known as Stuart Highway Leaving town landscape and its night street lights Passing waters of Roe Creek Cruising at 14,000 ft past Owen Spring Reserve desert Dig nice sunrise Look at nice Aussie desert landscape Cruising at 14,000 displaying superb metallic shine on bottom of the plane Cruising past clouds Sun is up It is hard to identify too many rivers in middle of huge Aussie desert that do not have waypoints but I think it is Finke river! Don't you love authentic metallic shine? Never knew that Aussie desert has more more more rivers while this plane passes Palmer river! Because of the regulations of the forums not allowing more than 20 screenshots per post, please be kind enough to go to this hyperlink below to view rest of the exciting flight.

June 19, 20196 yr Beautiful pictures with impressive lighting effects! Also, enjoyed your full set of (wide-screen) images from the link...very nice!
June 20, 20196 yr Fantastic screenies, Aharon, I like them all Any attempt to stretch fuel is guaranteed to increase headwinds My specs: AMD Radeon RX6700XT, AMD Ryzen 9 5900X, 32GB RAM, 34" monitor, screen resolution: 2560x1080
June 20, 20196 yr Nice set Aharon - I looked at the whole set via the link. I think those mountains which google maps didn't identify are The Olgas (Kata Tjuta) - they are the only high points relatively close to Uluru which you would see on the starboard side of the plane on descent to RWY13.

June 23, 20196 yr Author Thanks Bernd1511 and Highbypass, Thanks for kind words. Highbypass, you are correct about identity of the mountains. By the way, for all the viewers of this flight report, the mountains that Google map was unable to identify are called 4,000 ft high Olgas mountains according to one flight simmer who had flown to the YAYE Ayers Rock airport in real life many times and according to correct guess of Highbypass as seen on his post above. Regards, Aharon
