Well it was time to get my beloved IX from its home in Budapest over to Booker (High Wycombe) for the airshow season (more money in the UK ;D), so at 4am I'm doing the pre-flight, having a cup of tea and getting ready, by half-past I was into the wild blue (well bluish) yonder...
Out of Ferihegy (LHBP)

Getting on course and climbing to 10,000 feet
Image
Early morning over Bratislava
Image
As we get over Austria the weather turns nasty, lots of cloud and strong wind, I have to fight the aircraft all the way to Belgium, this is knackering!
Image
As I get over Belgium the weather starts to improve
Image
Down safely with just enough fuel to taxi in :o
Image
The route covered so far and the next bit...
Image
So down safely (and with only 6.6 gallons of go-go juice left at La Sauveniere (EBSP) for a quick top-up of juice, a visit to the loo to reprocess all that tea (no toilet in a Spit!), and scoff a load of Belgian choclates for the energy ;D

I seem to remember there is a 2k Spit with SAAF markings, I'll have a look for it, it might work in FS9, my Seafire 47 is a 2k model and works perfectly :o ;)
