ddavid 149 Posted November 18, 2011 Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 An early start for a flight across the Alps proper - from the Mediterranean coast at Nice (a favourite GTA location), over the north of Italy and the Dolomites, past the Mont Blanc massif and the Matterhorn, a distant view of Lake Lucerne and then down the valleys to Zurich. Here we are, ready to roll: Gear going up: After a climb out over the Med, we return to LFMN before turning north east for the TOPS VOR: Passing Levaldigi: Turning north towards the SIO NDB: The nearer peak is Grand Combin, with Mont Blanc behind: And that sharp little peak is the Matterhorn (yodel-odel-ay-ee-hee!) Here's the turn towards the TRA VOR with Lake Lucerne behind: And this is Thunersee, with Interlaken beyond: The final IFR turn at TRA VOR, with Basle-Mulhouse airport behind: Capturing the ILS at LSZH: Short Final: And a rather slick 3-pointer to finish: Flight Time was 149 minutes and 207 gallons used. Now, where's the Apfelstrudel and Wiess Bier?!? Cheers - Dai. Link to post Share on other sites
