wisemanp 0 Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 Hi all! Today we will be flying London Heathrow to Frankfurt Main, a route which I will be flying in real world next week! I anticipate being in an A321, with Lufthansa, so here we go! Pushing back from our gate at Terminal 2. 'All connections clear, captain', says the tug-driver. It's a grim morning in London! And there's a BIG queue this morning, it's rush hour, and we're flying between the 2 busiest airports on the continent... Lining up on 27L. And we soar into the Middlesex skies. T5 looking busy. Leaving behind Heathrow (And hopefully NOT our bags) Turning south then east on our Dover departure Reaching cruising level as we cross the English Channel A small turn over Belgium, in the cabin we're enjoying a good book. The Rhine is in sight. Here is the Rhine valley at its most beautiful stage, as it meets the Moselle near Koblenz. Decending and turning, as we slow down as best we can. Turning back towards Frankfurt as we begin our landing run. Gear down, approaching VRef A bit of nose down as we cross the river, not far now. Runway just in sight. Touchdown; there are queues here too! Turning off the active, there's something else close behind so we have to be quick. Parked up near some company Airbus'. Hope you enjoyed.
