November 24, 20196 yr It's rather cloudy in Athens, but we'll soon leave that behind and below. Good, initial rate of climb - only 50 tons on board. Turning on to course. Powering into the night on mighty wings. A not inconsiderable tailwind component tonight. Lined up for a visual on RWY30R at OMDB. Well, the tower said visual, but they didn't specifically say NOT to have the ILS dialled in... :) Touchdown. I do believe I nailed that big girl right on the centreline for once! Time to check out, rest up and prepare for the next leg to Bangalore (Bengaluru), India Cheers.

November 25, 20196 yr Awesome pictures! Really menacing clouds, Mark, on takeoff! Glad you made it safe and sound, with your valuable cargo.

November 25, 20196 yr I do love a full flight post especially with a three-holer! 😍 A couple of points.: Landing lights on climb out but not on takeoff? If FSATC offer you a visual, decline and ask for an ILS approach. 😉 My FS Videos

I need a safe place, the internet is bullying me! Actually, I possibly saved the company about $0.0000000163 in extending the life of the landing light bulbs... Ahem... thank you gents for your kind words, eagle-eyes and constructive criticism. 9 hours ago, elprim said: ....I see only the hangar in the background 😎 Ah, well you need to remove the sunglasses from your smiley and perhaps click on the pic to enlarge it to full size etc. P_7878. Not sure how valuable the cargo was. It tallied with the manifest (I think), there were no livestock or animals.... & I'm just the driver.
