small-story A screenshot that wasn't meant to be

[earthdog 842]

This morning, i woke up early and had some time to fly a leg for my VA. the leg was EGLC -> EGPE (Inverness).

Everything went well and as usual i recorded the flight in order to get my screenshots after i land, which i did.

During the captures i had some problem with both Live Weather and REX WF.. The weather was off and i tried to correct manually.

Happy enough i took the shot which i post below and put it in FB/reddit etc. with description something like "First coffee of the day at Inverness".

People liked it but some of them (strangely not many) started to joke as to when EGPE got parallel runways.

I checked and indeed this was EGCC and not EGPE. I got crazy for quite some time in order to find out how this happened. Absolute crazy.

Bottom line: When i loaded the recording i accidentally loaded one of my previous flights which ended up in EGCC  😂😂 

I am getting old guys (actually tomorrow i am turning 47)

Here is the capture:

Any Landing you can walk away from is a good landing....No matter where it is. Awesome Capture.

If it's open at the moment, then you might have been able to get a coffee at the Airport Hotel (just to the right of your starboard engine). An excellent place to go planespotting - the taxiway for 23R goes past the pub's beer garden 😉

Great story...!!

I hope, though it was Inverness or/and Manchester, whatever,...and "virtual", you did get to enjoy a "real" cup of coffee...🙂...
