Got myself the new Alabeo C441 Conquest, and have been thinking about Gibraltar and the Straits for a while now, so . . .

 

Dawn departure for this short hop

I wonder if the man in the moon is getting the "don't sink, don't sink" message?

That was fun. I might do another one soon but head on to Casablanca instead. See what that looks like.

Amazing, Andy!! I did a similar flight a few days back in the good old Canberra, but didn't post it here, as there was some non-ORBX scenery involved. And I started from Malaga, made a low pass over AS Gibraltar, crossed the Strait and landed just like you in Tanger.

Thanks everybody. I got lucky with the moon here. Had great fun moving the time back and forwards to see the moon at different times leading up to the flight shown. And I'd love to see ORBX do a full fat Gibraltar and/or Morocco (are you getting this, Jarrad?)

Not long and we will be able to fly in OLC Africa

Hopefully, Martyn. That will certainly be amazing if it's done to the same standard as the US and EU.

Hi John, what was that old line - "it's Frank's world, we just fly in it" or something like that <grin>

And the interior of your plane also does not look that shabby

i've been think about the C441 for a while

Gerold, Adam, it's a fine 'plane indeed. The finish is wonderful, interior sumptuous, and it let's me start her up with ctrl-E! My sort of aircraft. Highly recommended.

Hi Bernd, I know that feeling. I've done many a flight somewhere that's resulted in some amazing shots and then remembered I was flying over some AS or DD scenery. Shame we can't post 'em here but understandable.
