Today's leg is my last in North Africa, and yesterday I made an early morning flight from Matruh to Cairo Egypt...


Cairo was a nice city.  The old stone buildings and ancient relics of a bygone civilization made me fell like Indiana Jones!  Just without the wip or Nazis...

The Pyramids had been spectacular!  I got sun burn just standing there looking up at them in awe, and then, that night, I saw the sun set behind them from across the Nile.  Beautiful!

Morning came and it was time to leave.  I got to the airport early, around seven, so that I could get to Alexandria quickly.



I took off...



Once in the air I rocked my wings to say goodbye to Cairo and all it's mysteries, and followed the Nile north.





There was nothing new along the river, nothing I hadn't seen the day before.



I reached Alexandria about an hour after leaving Cairo and I tuned to Alexandria International for permission to land.



I turned Peggy towards the runway and greased her in for a smooth landing.



I taxied to parking, shut her down, and tied her down.  I then grabbed my hat from the rear and was ready to play Indiana Jones again.




Tune in tommrow when I say good bye to sand beautiful weather, and hello to Europe!

Thanks man.  I'm not even sure if I have autopilot.  If I did it would probably take me a few hours to figure it out.  Normally I just trim it for level flight, so if nature, or anyone else, calls I don't have to pause it.

WOW! thats some serious flying time lately! good job!

Acually I haven't flown in a long time.  I had all the shots for my legs up to 15 pilled up and I need to post them.  Thats what the last few weeks have been for.  I think I'm caught up enough now...I'm going to go find Italy.

Say hi to my collegue if you pass over Luxor, she's in Egypt at the moment!

Sure thing Omag.  I'll be sure to set back time.  Hey, gonna make sure to rock my wings over Belgium!

Great shots! I've also been reading since Leg one and I have to say these stories are fantastic! Keep up the good work  ;D

Thanks Tsunami!  

Great shoots and Great story
