My first VFR flight at Mutley field


Recommended Posts

Hi Guys!

After reading and looking at Joe's navigation challange I thought I would give my Airbuses some rest and fly a VFR flight.

Was taking off form Southampton, landing at Bournemouth. Not a direct route as I flied to some Island first.

Joe, Wayne and Kieran was with me on this flight, as Wayne was at my right all the time :smile:

On with the shots...

Okay, the default Cessna 172 but don't have any other GA crafts...

Hi Marcus,

:smile: That's a great post. Of course, as this is my local area I recognise exactly where you are as you took the identical route out of EGHI as me so all I can say is "well flown sir! :salute:"

Anyone know what this is called?

That is the Isle of Wight and you are flying past Alum Bay en route to the Needles rocks lighthouse. Look at my post viewtopic.php?f=47&t=2659 of course, as it is my local area I have every add-on installed as shown in my pictures but I can easily recognise where you are :biggrin:

Really enjoyable Marcus, hopefully Rob will get another challenge posted.

Cheers

Good flight, Marcus - you've reminded me that I haven't been to The Isle of Wight since I used to go there on holiday when I was a kid - it's a grand place. The default scenery had me confused but I guess you were in the vicinity of the Needles and Alum Bay? :biggrin:

Thanks for sharing... :smile:

Cheers - Dai. :blush:
