Just when I thought the sea was never going to end, I spotted the island of Malta, like a pearl in the vast ocean...

Image

I dove towards the coast to make several low fly-by's as promised to the Maltese authorities...

Image

Hunderds of tourists and aircraftlovers had gathered along the harbour... I lost count of the numerous flashes I saw...

Image

Last turn over the capital Valletta...

Image

Before setting this beauty down at Luqa airport...

Image

There she finally is, after all those years, another Merlin roars over the island. The plane will remain on the island for the rest of the year, as part of the yearly WWII memorial-activities... You guys are all welcome to go down there and visit this stunning beauty... I'm gonna miss flying her...

Cheers,

omag

Avsim... landclass, mesh and airport scenery can be found there...

The airport-scenery and afcad-file are also available at the official Luqa airport website:

Brings back memories... I was in Malta for a week back in 92, I had my first girlfriend back then and I connect the two, as well as my dear Grandad who was an air mechanic there during WWII.

Ahhh....

Cool pics, I've got the airport but not the mesh/landclass... will have to investigate.... :)
