The early morning saw me taking off from Zanzibar in the Indian Ocean...

... and to Dar es-Salaam for an intermediate stop.

Maybe better to take a faster plane for the rest of this days leg.

Climbing out of the coastal city again and turning westwards.

It was confusing to enter all these waypoints over central Africa: Some were present in Skyvector, some in Pro-ATC/X, and some other in the PMDG system. But finally I came to the central Namibian deserts (which look a bit boring here from the altitude) ...

... approaching to Grootfontein (where the landscape looks much better), ...

... ready to explore the surroundings - and the Atlantic coast - in VFR flights.

Great shots Gerold. Good to see y'all flying a real plane, at least for the first leg.:D

Yeah mate, she´s a pleasure to see, to hear and to fly. But for some 1000 kilometers of distance I do prefer planes with these strange hairdriers under the wings.

WOW you covered some distance there and nicely done with the range of airliners!

Thank you TT. Yes, quite a change of landscape as well...

Nice mid-air change of planes Gerold. :D  Great set. :)

Dar es-Salaam helped me a bit, just to work through the checklists. I can´t say the airport scenery took lots of profit from OLC, and that is as promised.

Nice shots and changeover Gerold.

Thank you Jack. Africa is big, and doesn´t get much awareness in daily news, so I underestimate the distances!
