Brilliant screenies, as always Will !!

Very interesting shots, Johnny !! This observation by Jack tells us best, how far we have come in our flight simulation 😀

Great tour, Johnny !!

Oh yes, it does. But the good thing is, MSFS comes in many cases pretty close 🙂

Even better than the Victoria Falls by the same company, because it's just bigger. Time to get the heli out 😀

Many thanks Will and PM !! I think so too, and we are taliking here about default MSFS scenery 🙂

Thank you Jack and John. My mistake, I should have mentioned that I served once for a couple of years as officer in the Luftwaffe, where I was in charge of a small airport near Munich. A friend of mine, with whom I was trained at the officers academy, was in charge of a neighboring air base that was home to a Transall squadron. That gave me the opportunity to a couple of very interesting flights 😉 I also had the jet passenger card. It was not needed for the Transall, but for my two flights in the two-seater TF-104G, but that is for another story 😀😀. Things like that would not be allowed today anymore, so I guess I was lucky.

Quite a unique approach to flying, Andy 😉 But maybe too many flies in your mouth after this 😉

Great to have you back my friend and what an entry 😄😄

What a great looking bird 😉

With the Transall the Luftwaffe flew over the last forty to fifty years countless emergency food supply missions to this part of the world. This is an early paint that was used in the 1980s. The orange part never lasted long and soon faded out. I was lucky to have flown in this bird quite a few times. This Azurpoly version is pretty much spot on. The Blue Eye of the Sahara is a prominent geological formation in the Sahara desert that stretches across a 40km wide region in Mauritania Quite colorful the Sahara North of Agadir. I hope we will also get some civilian liveries for the C160 Long final runway 35R Looking good Thanks for viewing

Wow, these are bloody awesome, Will !!

Great shots buddy. Is your slide show now a thing of the past?

Hmmh...something appears to interfere with your data streaming when I look at the last few pics, Jack.

Great part 1, Jack. Strange what happened to you in this FPS friendly environment.

Fantastic shots mixed with some scary ones, Will, as you had some very close encounters 🙂

Salamat po, buddy, for posting these shots, they are excellent !!

Many thanks, Erich.

Thank you all for your kind comments, John, Will, PM, WingZ and Jack !! Luckily I didn't have any such issues. I once read that one of many possible factors could be reduced power settings, which make engines more prone to icing.

Thanks Patrick, I'm glad you like them.

This is what Wikipedia has to say about Mt. Erebus: it is the second-highest volcano in Antarctica (after Mount Sidley), the highest active volcano in Antarctica, and the southernmost active volcano on Earth. With a summit elevation of 3,794 metres (12,448 ft), it is located in the Ross Dependency on Ross Island, which is also home to three inactive volcanoes: Mount Terror, Mount Bird, and Mount Terra Nova. The volcano has been active since about 1.3 million years ago and has a long-lived lava lake in its inner summit crater that has been present since at least the early 1970s. The volcano was the site of the Air New Zealand Flight 901 accident, which occurred in November 1979. Hmmh…what’s this? On to Mount Erebus Behind the summit is a small plateau, where I can try to land I think it was worth it. Do this in real life and it’s going to cost you a fortune. 😉😉 Let’s get out the bubbly for the passengers Ok, time to head back to McMurdo But where are we going to sleep, I don’t like to sleep in a 40-foot container!! No worries, ma’m, we have already thought of something much, much better I hope this will satisfy you 😉 Thanks for viewing.

Thank you very much for your comments, Nuno, Jack, Will, WingZ, Neil, PM and Martyn !! Oh yes, I do remember, NZ flight 901, very tragic !

Wow, fantastic liveries, Jan !!

The “Passat” is an old FSX ship that I converted to MSFS. The real Passat is a German four-masted steel barque and one of the Flying P-Liners, the famous sailing ships of the German shipping company F. Laeisz. Launched in 1911, she is one of the last surviving windjammers and anchors, well preserved, in Travemünde, a city in Northern Germany. (The name "Passat" is German for trade wind). Time to drop the sails, so we can be towed into the small harbor (there are two models of the ship, one with sails and one without) Over 100 years ago, the Passat was considered a large ship. As we can see, not anymore 🙂 Tomorrow we are going to explore the area by plane.

What an amazing livery and you showed it off well !!
