VH-KDK Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 This was only going to be a take off from Finkenwerder but I was enjoying the flight so much I decided to motor down to Nice. 1. A line up of very distinctive aircraft. 2. Lifting off for a test flight, Very impressed with the details at the airports I have visited so far. 3. Turning south over Buxtehude. 4. Now decided to continue the flight, passing over Hanover and EDDV. 5. Where north meets south, the join is hardly noticeable. 6. Looking back toward Worms and the Rhine. 7. Lake Biel, Switzerland. 8. Near Bourg-Saint-Maurice in France. 9. Starting to descend and over Mt Blanc. 10. At Castellane and preparing to land at LFMN. Went to take another V and the dreaded APP CRASH happened. What a bummer at the end of a long flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stillwater Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 What a nice flight, you should have stopped by at my house! I see you have joined the GEN crew as well, and are ready to explore... PS.: I could add RL pictures to most of the places you overfly, if I were at my computer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the A340-642 Andy. We were going to fly back from Thailand on the new Thai A350 but there were problems with the authorities in Australia so it's introduction has been delayed. Instead we had my favourite airliner , the 777-300(ALER). Hopefully we will get on an SQ A350 next year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy1252 Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Ah, interesting. It looks quite a long and skinny beast, and I couldn't place it. Most of the four engine stuff seems to be wide-body these days, but this looks like it was designed by Kate Moss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Gerold, I saw the big airport coming up not realising where it was but when I found out it was Hannover I thought of you straight away. Really enjoying GEN, a chance to get some of my slower planes out. On 10/10/2016 at 6:26 AM, RJ said: Great heavy shots Martyn! Thank you RJ.

I quite often do this at the end of a longer flight just in case, but my old brain did not tell me to do it this time On 10/10/2016 at 7:23 AM, BradB said: Nicely done Martyn !! .

Thanks Andy, I like the A340 but I did not see too many at Bangkok recently which is a shame. Same can be said for the 747 too, changing times. Many thanks to you all for your great comments, I am happy that you liked the shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
