Friedrichshafen at Lake Constance to Buochs, near Lucerne

Recommended Posts

Ortho4XP, ZL17, freeware Zlin 142 (available at the org)

Friedrichshafen has a picturesque little harbor, from where ships ferry tourists to other port cities on the German, Austrian and Swiss sides of Lake Constance

After having flown over parts of the Northern Swiss Alps we have reached St. Gallen at the eastern shore of Lake Zurich

The “Walensee” or Lake Walen comes up on our left side

At the eastern side of Lake Lucerne and close to our final stop

At our 10 o’clock is the airport of Buochs, at our 1 o’clock is Lucerne and in between is the forest-covered Buergenstock mountain, which has since a few years now one of the most spectacular hotels, Europe has to offer, on its peak. It has adopted the mountain’s name and is owned by, well, the Emir of Qatar

Before we land at Buochs, let’s have a look at Lucerne with some of its nice antique buildings

When I booked a flight to Buochs, I didn't think that's what the tour operator meant by "coach class"!! 😄

Lovely scenery and detailed aeroplane. 😎

Fantastic set, Bernd! Historic (Count Zeppelin's home-town) Lake to the Swiss mountains, love it!

BTW, your (Ortho + Whatever else, you've) combo seems really effective and attractive....

And, Zlin-142, yes, I recall flying that Freeware (PWDT Z-142) in FSX, I see it's there, in the Library, still...(nice plane to use here)...

Thanks for posting!
