Well, I just started my round the world tour ;)
Hoping to visit every country, but that might take a bit long, anyway I'll give it a go, I have plenty of time on my hands :D

Here are some random shots from my first leg, my home airport of Glasgow to Belfast, NI. Aircraft is default LJ45.



Awating take-off clearence at Glasgow - 4.30AM

Leaving Glasgow City Behind

Thought I'd try out the VC, I never usually use them. It's pretty good :)

Image



Starting approach into Belfast City

Image



On final into Belfast airport

Image



Touchdown at 5:05AM

Image



Taxi to the gates

Image



Parked up at the gate, ready for the next leg,

C&C welcome, compression realy seemed to mess up some shots :( think I'll go back to using photoshop soon.

Next leg - Belfast (NI) - Dublin (Eire)

It looks like a bit of a bumpy landing as the Lear is about half a mouse pointer off the ground :P ;)

I tried going around the world a couple times, but then the wife starts yelling at me for spending too much time at the computer, so then i use autopilot but then I forget about it, run out of fuel and crash...so good luck with your trip, hope you're more successful than I have been  :D
