Took the A330 for a 1.400nm flight between EBBR and an unknown Island in the atlantic  8)

I departed early, around 0500Z, so the shots are naturally more darker than usual :)
Just passing Paris

These two shots are actually from an earlier sequence, just though they fit in pretty nice here :)

Picture of the "IFR" panel, if I may call it so. When will Boeing introduce a similar version of the ECAM system on their 737's  *jealous*

Cruising over the atlantic, enroute to our destination

And here's the last picture, my trip got a surprising ending...
Image

I flew in real world weather, and during the approach the wind changed from a 15kt tailwind to a 26 kt HEADwind, which resulted in a nice aircraft overstress crash. I damaged the flap system pretty bad I guess...a 3,5 hour flight for nothing huh... :)

Anyways thanks for watching!

Great shots, especialy the ones with the moon. Too bad it ended that way though... ;)

Nice shots Nexus, pity about the ending. Of course this would never have happened if you flew warbirds.... ;) ;D

Nah the warbird would suffer an engine failure and later on being grounded for just being so ugly-looking  ;)

;D

Great shots, love the moon pictures and the cockpit looks great. I hear PSS are selling all their packages half price till end of july now, you've persuaded me go over there and get the A330/A340 package with all liveries hopefully, sorry to hear about the abrupt ending, happy flying.

Love that glass cockpit.  Airbus makes an awesome bird!

Just returned from a cross country business trip on which I flew in a jetBlue A320 (KJFK - KSAN and back).  After the flight I spoke to the captain for a while in the flightdeck and got a quick tutorial on some of the instruments.  What a great experience!
