Just Point Me In The Right Direction.......

Hi all,

It's not often you'll find me driving buses around the country, but I felt like a bit of a change today. Just a short hop from Exeter (EGTE) to Heathrow (EGLL) - in some good old British fog.

Just waiting for a pushback:

Away into the fog - never to be seen again:
Image
It was a real 'pea souper' today - all the way up to 4000ft:
Image
Once we'd cleared the tops though it was a lovely day again - as normal:
Image
Descending back into the 'soup' on approach to Heathrow:
Image
Ahh, there she is - I was beginning to think this runway wasn't going to be where I thought it was:
Image
Just time to wipe my sweaty brow before I kicked in the reverse thrust:
Image
A pleasant sight to see - London for my passengers & a stiff whisky for my nerves:
Image
Cheers,

TSC.

I've got to get over my fear of flying the Cessna's before I tackle one of those beasts. Nice series tsc. Creates a great "English" mood!

Ah, nice ILS landing. It sure is good to see those arrows when you know that you're that close to the ground huh?

I was expecting some screenshots of bush flying, and I'm rather dissapointed ;D

I hope you didn't permanently cross over to the land of flying cigar tubes ;)

Nice shots though ;)

Heck no!! I find screeenies of buses quite boring really - the scenery all looks the same from way up there.

I'll be back in the Husky very soon.

It sure is good to see those arrows when you know that you're that close to the ground huh?

It sure is -  although sometimes they still don't turn up, thats when I find out that I've hit the wrong switch! ;D

Cheers,
