'Round the World in the Connie - C. & Northern Africa

Recommended Posts

Picking up pretty much where I left off, we're prepping for an early morning departure from Roberts International (GLRB), Liberia to Gran Canaria (GCLP) in the Canaries.  This is leg 24 of 50.  Just about in Europe and halfway, so that's encouraging.  Takes a long time to complete a 'round the world at about 185 kts!

 

Weather was good for the departure, but a bit bumpy over the desert.

Landing wasn't bad.  Taxing back to the terminal, and parked up.

Hope you enjoyed it.  Thanks for taking the time.

A nice leg of your epic trip. Even though the scenery is on the flat side, you did cross some rarely seen areas. And the Connie is a nice aircraft to do it with, even if a bit slower than modern jets :)
