Please tell me if you don't like the story, but I like it myself.. Btw the flight was pretty much smooth, my first all-out IFR flight, else i've been on the VFR approach.. this time I used an IFR approach.
There was some mess at the airport that day, so after we went off the bus, there still wasn't any stairs up to the door. We had to wait 5 minutes before the stairs came and we could board our socalled "Airbus 320-200" I grabbed this picture of the outside of the aircraft.
Finally, after a long taxi, our "International Aero Engine" V2500s roared to life on the runway, and we started a left turn over the airport. Picture of the climbout.
As I was preparing to go to the loo, I felt a sudden shake in the aircraft and I heard the engines roar. "This can't be true!!", I thought.
We were scared. But suddenly we heard the captain's voice over the loudspeakers. "Ladies and gentlemen, we apologize for this sudden bump. It seems there is some heavy headwinds here at 30,000 feet, so we will be climbing to 34,000 to get rid of it."
The rest of the flight was smooth. Alot of turns when we were going to land, but I guess we had to line up with the runway. Anyway, there was a smooth touchdown and I watched as the reversers engaged. (I know IAE reversers are different, but this IS the IAE model, I think it's a mistake by iFDG)
And this time, it was different. Now, there was stairs down from the aircraft immediatly (that got removed quickly
), but now, the bus wasn't coming. So I took one last picture of the aircraft the flew me to my dream destination.
Hope you liked.
And yes, i've been to both these airports! Both in 2008.
Only landed in Tenerife with the A320's big brother though, the A330
And in Barcelona with a 737-8 ._.
