It's been awhile!

So I decided to take a flight, but just a short one (it's been a busy month with my hernia surgery, AND a fractured finger :o)

Anyway I decided to take a really short hop from Finland- Vaanta to Estonia- Tallin (I'm 50% Estonian  ;D).  It's only 60 miles or so but it was quicker than taking the ferry across the Baltic.

Let's just say Vaanta wasn't the most diverse airport.  I didn't see anything but the beautiful Finnair livery!

Times like these when I wish I had waited a little longer to taxi.  Here I am getting ready to head out towards the Baltic, and a 777-200 flys by me on apprach to Vaanta.  Darn, would've liked to watch that one land up close!
Image

After about 20 minutes, we cross the beautiful Estonian coastline!
Image

It sure was a windy day in Tallinn.  Winds of over 25mph, and I had some real trouble getting her to descend! (something tells me the "AI" chose a bad Active)
Image

Got her lined up, and coming down!
Image

Touchdown, welcome to Tallinn!  I hope you enjoyed your flight on Finnair, and please fly with us again soon.

That's all for now.  Hope you like 'em.  ;D
