 Topic: A night flight and difficult landingPosted: 18 Feb 2011 at 10:20pm |
 Hi again,
A few weeks ago my old PC blew up completely so I got myself a new one, powerful enough for FSX
 . Unfortunately my old FedEx company is "dead" now. But I started a new one: DHL Air
I entered service on the 30. of Jan 11 with a Boeing 737-600.
After a short while of working I had enough money for an Airbus A320, then my first Boeing 757-200.
Anyway, I made these screenshots on my flight from East Midlands Airport to Sion, Switzerland. Enjoy!
 Climbing out from EGNX, there was quite a wind blowing there
 Somewhere over South England...
the cruise time wasn't long actually, I think that was because I had the wind in my back.
 just crossing the border between france and switzerland
 The mountains are coming closer...
 ...and closer...
 ...and CLOSER...
 ...and WAAH! That was CLOSE!
 I had Sion Airport in sight, but I was far too high to land because of the High mountains
 ...so I did a tight (and dangerous!!!) turn in the valley to lose height
   now I could properly approach the airport
 ...on final
 ...Landed!
 And finally unloading the cargo.  |
