SWVA7337 0 Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 Welcome to Leg 23 of the ATWC II from VQPR to UNAA. We will be cruising at an altitude of 38000ft aboard VP-BRT, owned by Roustam Tariko, the head of Russian Standard (a vodka company?). As you can see, our flight path is far from a straight line from point A to point B. If you have any problem with this, you may consult the giant mountains we crash into if we were to fly straight to Russia. So here she is, with a very intricate and beautiful paint scheme A close up of the paint. On the real plane, this scheme is also painted on the wings! :biggrin: I enter the flight deck and I am greeted by lots of frost on the windshield! Being towed out of the hangar Much to my surprise, I am greeted by a purple and a pink Cessna 182 Getting lined up on runway 15 Now for the fun part Those mountains are kind of close I changed my mind, this part isn Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,498 Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 That was an excellent post Eric! No-one said that flight was going to be easy but you passed the test with flying colours, a good piece of navigation! Nice scenery to start with and another executive jet just for the baton, :biggrin: Some excellent shots of the cockpit and those approach shots were contest winners! Thanks for getting us safely to Abakan, I'm pleased it has started snowing as that is Dai's favourite type of weather Cheers (PS, I'm just off to bed so will update the departure board and Google Earth map in the morning ) Link to post Share on other sites
