Stillwater Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 When I planned to fly around from Antananarivo, I was surprised to learn how big Madagascar is: The 4th biggest island of the world https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madagascar . And mostly unknown territory to me. So I just set up a short flight from FMMI Ivato... ... over Antananarivo city, ... ... southwards into the hills. Unfortunately limited views welcomed me when I tried to cross the volcano region. Initially I planned to fly to Antsirabe, but the airfield looked so boring, I skipped it and went on... ... finding great landclass additions. A challenging land for hikers. Mahanoro will be our intermediate stop, for some swimming in the Indian Ocean! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hilda would be most welcome, as the ground temperature is over 30°C and the passengers need drinks. Not to forget the risk of dehydration of the cockpit personnel.

Madagascar was like a white spot on my maps, until Iain has made some teaser screenies here. Perhaps we can call the time on this forum "education"?
