Mickel Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 So... I took off from one 7,600' airport, flew for 2 hours and landed at another 7,600' airport. This is going to look gorgeous once it's no longer default LC. From Addis Ababa to Asmara. and I'm at 19k'.... Just over the ridge it drops very quickly to only a couple of hundred feet. Must be a real steep drop, but I never got that far... Sorry... got carried away again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bernd1151 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Very cool! Can't wait to do some more extensive exploring of this continent, once OLC Africa is out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Sawyer Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Interesting, but for the life of me I don't understand the attraction of Africa. Not to denigrate people who have been wanting for years but it seems to me to be mostly desert with some cities here and there like Cairo and Johannesburg.

Hey Jack, Africa is supremely varied...didn't you see the movie "Out of Africa", with it's superb yellow bi-plane? Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Thanks Lee, I'm sure it is. I never saw that movie as I haven't watched TV or movies in 28 years, never even heard of it actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wain71 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 some very nice shots, yeah I think this may get me flying in that area once LC from ORBX is available... I spent 3 months in Kenya in the 80's with the Army, was a wonderful place.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodger Pettichord Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Michel, I made that same flight in a military courier plane many years ago. You caught the sense of it very well. The geography around Asmara is fascinating--especially back when rebels lurked at every roadblock. Thanks for the memories. PS--I agree with you in looking forward to the Africa LC.
