  1. Excellent tour, Johnny !!
  2. Another fine set of shots, my friend !!
  3. Three cool shots, buddy !!
  4. Today I'm going from the British Virgin Islands, more precisely from Terrance Lettsome Airport on Beef Island (next to Tortola) to St. Kitts. But I'm taking a small detour via Sint Maarten. And here we have our good, old Staggerwing Hmmh... Obviously we are on a secret mission today, because we are flying without any identification To be on the safe side, I ask the pilot: "Are we smuggling rum today?" The answer comes promptly: "We ain't smuggling nothing, Mista. We are trading in West Indies goods". Well… that could be fun We are now over the French part of Sint Maarten, so I should actually be writing Saint Martin We have now arrived over St. Kitts, Basseterre. Let's get back to terra firma fast, our landing lights aren't the best and it gets dark quickly here Done, and I even got a crate of rum for free. They're all really friendly people here Thanks for viewing
  5. Same here. All your fault, Andy, that I bought them to quickly, after I had read your first comment here 😄😄
  6. In those days I was still with Schering, we had our plant in Lahore
  7. Thank you all very much for your comments !! The scenery can be found on flightsim.to Hahaha, I can understand your cousin, but at that time we lived in Lahore, so we had no choice but to use PIA. Alternatively we could have use public transportation, meaning a bus, which is in that region even more dangerous, considering the condition of the roads. And it takes you close to two days to get from Islamabad to Gilgit. 🙂
  8. Great shots, buddy. Just a tiny issue and I hope you allow me to mention this: in your title you mention "China Airlines", but you fly China Southern. China Airlines is the flag carrier of Taiwan (I have lived there for eight years, Mainland China would never allow the Taiwanese to fly their plane over Mainland China territory) 🙂🙂
  9. Excellent shots, buddy, as always !!
  10. Another fine set, many thanks P_7878 !!
  11. I’ve done this trip IRL twice with my wife many years ago, four times to be precise, but twice we had to turn back due to bad weather over Gilgit. The first part is easy, you just fly along Faisal Avenue and you’ll find yourself automatically over the Faisal Mosque, one of the largest in the world. In the real world you are of course not allowed to do this. The second part is more difficult, but fascinating. Now comes the tricky part To land in Gilgit, you fly along a ridge, make a sharp left turn at the end and if you have done everything right, you are perfectly aligned for runway 25 Thanks for viewing.
  12. Two terrific shots, buddy !!
  13. Sorry John, I have forgotten to answer your question. No, I have nothing added to this area.
  14. Thank you all very much for your kind comments ! I share your opinion 🙂
  15. Boy, that's flat ! We have a saying in Northern Germany: it's so flat here that you can already see on Wednesday, who will be visiting you on Sunday 🙂
  16. Really nice, P_7878. If my memory serves me correctly, you have done a KLM story also some time ago in FSX.
  17. Great screenies, Andy !!
  18. Great paint job, Jan, as usual !!
