Well another month and the Olympics are upon us, so I decided to fly to Athens from Wycombe Air Park in my shiny new Howard Hughes 500 to test it to the limit....
The route (IFR at 10000 ft)

Nice morning for flying :)

Image
Finally found a use for the new lens flare effect that the photography mob can't complain about ;) ;D
Image
Entering Swiss Air Space (eating Cadburys chocolate as a rebellion) ;D
Image
Croatia to port, Italy to starboard, and that water looks perfect for a swim :)
Image
Coming up on the Greek coast and the cloud and turbulence increases :(
Image
Down safely in Athens, and with 29% of my fuel still left :o

I'd just like to thank Milton, Jo

I haven't changed anything on my PC, I think its just it was a nice sedate flight with no bridges meant I didn't have to reduce the quality of the shots to show off the stunts ;D

That 4th shot is a unique one for you Mark. Was it taken with the digi in one hand and a frosty in the other? ;)
Hope you had your shades on!!  8)

I got shot 4 over Normandy, it just happened by accident I was mucking around in the VC arguing with Paris ATC (one of my hobbies), and I looked left and there was a great shot, all by accident :o ;D
