December 17, 20214 yr I thought I need a break from cold Alaska, so I ventured further west and found myself back in South East Asia. We are at the southern tip of Palawan and plan to fly to El Nido, home to some of the most beautiful travel destinations in Asia. Rio Tuba is one of many small airports all over the Philippines that serve the local population. The data availability for the Philippines must be pretty good, because the scenery I fly above looks superb. I fly with live weather. I have now reached the El Nido area, the island in front of the plane is Pangulasian and it really is spot on (except for the buildings of course) The same holds true for Miniloc …and its neighbouring lagoon But naturally, nothing beats the real lagoon Over the village of El Nido, which gave the area its name. In the distance on the upper right side one can see the runway of the small airport The runway is luckily not long enough to accommodate jets. One can only hope it stays that way The (freeware) airport buildings and pick-up area are very well done For comparison this is a rl photo of the terminal Btw, when I arrived there for the first time in 1995, the runway looked like this Also the terminal was more basic (and more charming) Thanks for viewing Any attempt to stretch fuel is guaranteed to increase headwinds My specs: AMD Radeon RX6700XT, AMD Ryzen 9 5900X, 32GB RAM, 34" monitor, screen resolution: 2560x1080

Excellet shots as always Bernd !! . I was very active to ask for it for years over there. It doesn’t make any sense at all now to me either.

December 18, 20214 yr Great set of a beautiful corner of the world. Just the right escape from European winters 😉 Hope that mass tourism will stay away and not spoil it.
