Flight Details Callsign: AFR291 Departure Aerodrome: Kansai International (RJBB/KIX) Departure Time: 0335z Arrival Aerodrome: Paris Charles de Gaulle (LFPG/CDG) Arrival Time: 1600z Flight Time: 12h 20m Aircraft: Boeing 777-200ER / F-GSSU ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So we arrived at Kansai International Airport about 2 hours after the aircraft had landed, received our flight documents and headed out the aircraft. The aircraft was expected to spend around 3hours on the ground after arrival so it was left in a cold and dark state. Sitting on Stand F35 at Terminal 1 we started to bring her to life. Whilst the Captain was preparing the Flight Deck I did the walk around since I was Pilot Flying for this sector, I deemed the aircraft fit to fly and headed back into the aircraft. We departed Kansai about 13minutes late and were slowly starting to go through our step climbs. We expecting some moderate headwinds over Russia until we reached Scandinavia. During our cruise over Western Russia we were expecting to arrive with a little bit more fuel than expected due to the winds not living up to our expectations, we contacted ATC via CPDLC and asked if we could dump some fuel. Taken very short final into Paris's RWY26L, winds were 329 @ 13kts at this point. On blocks in Paris after the long but pleasant flight. Passengers in the terminal graphing our aircraft as see prepares for her next voyage to another part of the world. Hope you liked. Shaun

LFCC - Cahors Lalbenque is a local airfield for skydivers, situated 100km north of Toulouse (France). The region of Cahors is well known for its wines ^_^ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cahors). I have some relatives living in the vicinity of the fieldand during my 2 day visit there last summer, the sound of a Pilatus could be heard all day. http://www.parachutisme.com On a hot, lazy afternoon, we drove to the airfield in the heating August sun of Southern France, and treated the smallest ones of the family on a nice fresh drink, while we were all looking at the spectacle that was being performed in front, above and all around us. Time to visit the airfield again, but this time in the sim and with a Twin Otter and moments before sunrise. Guess that I woke the entire neighbourhood; and I expect to find the local gendarmerie waiting for me in the "buvette" (bar). Shots below are unedited, except for resizing to 1600pix and little sharpening to compensate this.
