FSX:SE FEDEX Athens to Dubai: Tri-Holer for the win..

[HighBypass 2,339]

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.

3 Holes are always better than 2....Love The Aircraft and the Flattering Shots.

Awesome pictures!

Really menacing clouds, Mark, on takeoff! Glad you made it safe and sound, with your valuable cargo.

Beautiful shots.

I'll have to take your word for it. I see only the hangar in the background 😎

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. 😉

....OOPSIE..checklist?what checklist??.... I'm not a real pilot..oh..those buttons!!  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.

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.
