Unfortunately the weather prevented me to take more picture of the lake and the landing

The first two shots look like Eastern Washington State , dry as a bone .

 

 

 

 

 

One of the things that sells this sim.

When you go visit a place, especially an unfamiliar place, you have a sense of actually having seen/been somewhere unique/different.

 

We are all connected..... To each other, biologically...... To the Earth, chemically...... To the rest of the Universe atomically.

Great shots, Dominique. Are you planning to get the Ju-52 when it comes out? I'm looking forward to a "Cairo to Cape" trip in that - I started to do that in P3D a couple of years ago, but as usual, never finished it. Did about 5 or 6 hops and got as far as Addis Ababa. Should be much more rewarding in MSFS.

The 1st TransAfrica flight was made by two South Africans  (van Ryneveld and Brand) on a Vickers Vimy ! They had advance teams to clear landing sites, including of ant hills 😄 !

 England to Southern Italy  and crossing the Med (by night !) then Derna. (Lybia) - Sollum  - Cairo (Egypt) -  Abu Simbel  (approximation of the the city of Kurusku north of Wadi Halfa where they crashed) - Khartoum (Sudan) - Nimule (South Sudan) - Kisumu (Kenya) - Mbala (aka Abercorn - Zambia) - Ndola -  Kabwe (aka Broken Hill) - Livingstone  (Victoria Falls !) - Balawayo (Zimbabwe) -  Cape Town.

 For the JU 52 ? I will diplomatically say that the question is open 😉.

Great shots...the weather looks terrific......if not easy to fly in!

Wonderful series and contrast...brings out the spirit of the continent....!!

Great shots, Dominique. They show, what we like about MSFS: exploring new places or areas we remember from many years ago and like to revisit now from the comfort of our homes 😉

I remember that flight of yours very well, Andy. I did a similar one in P3D too, but gave up due to a very unrealistic scenery below me. This time it will be different, luckily 😉
