World Tour Legs 1 & 2

[CyprusAirwaysA330 0]

Well, as it is now approaching the Summer holidays for me (we break up tomorrow), I have decided to commence a world tour. There are a couple of small rules which I will follow to make it an interesting and varied tour:

Aircraft will for the most part be payware.

The tour is only allowed to be flown with Airlines in the Oneworld Alliance, with real schedules followed.

All flights will be in real time.

Well, here we are, starting with the first leg. A short leg, with a BA A319, Heathrow to Edinburgh (BA1458).

Hi CA330!

First off, great shot. Glad it's your summer holidays tomorrow, and I'll be heading to England tomorrow as I finished on Friday :roll:

OK - so where do you live? The only place I knoe to get off early is Ireland.

And finally, is that the Wilco A319 I see before my eyes? If so, you really show off the aircraft well :dance2: :dance2:

Hehe, black gold is free in flightsim.

I go to a private school in London.

Yes, that is indeed the Wilco A319, and it will feature again in the tour, but with different colours. :dance2:
