Stillwater Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 A huge delivery of solar panels and fresh water pumps needed to be transported from Gran Canaria to Takhamalt, Algeria. After careful preparation my FO and me entered the plane in true Mule Service style... Nevertheless we managed to get the 777 into the air. Turning eastwards ... ... and passing Fuerteventura ... ... we quickly reached Western Sahara. An interesting "hill" came up over the Adrar desert. The mountain ridge of Erg Tiffernine - flying too high to see details. I always love it when you lose visibility during the approach. But to my experience AS16 shows conditions quite realistic... this may be a sandstorm. No ILS, no instrument advise... but at least the runway came into view at 1100 ft AGL... ... so that I could land at DAAP Takhamalt. You can see the complete airport with all bars and restaurants in this shot - we were lucky enough having loaded one or the other refreshment.

There are two on board, but they might be Kerosine powered. The better wind generation is T-Bone on the other great supply airline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can give you an endless supply of coal fired wind turbines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
