paulb Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Mont Blanc (meaning "white mountain") is the highest mountain in the Alps and Western Europe, rising 4,807.81 m (15,774 ft) above sea level. The Mont Blanc massif is a mountain range in the Alps, located mostly in France and Italy, but also straddling Switzerland at its northeastern end. It contains eleven major independent summits, each over 4,000 metres (13,123 ft) in height. I took many screenshots on this flight (MSFS). So I have broken it into three parts. The flight is from Lyon to Mont Blanc and then to Sallanches. Departure is from LFLL Lyon–Saint-Exupéry Airport (Orbx partner Digital Design). The detail both outside and inside this airport is first class. It is the international airport of Lyon, the third-biggest city in France and an important transport facility for the entire Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. First a map to show where we are in the world 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Martyn . The detail is amazing. "The most distinctive feature of Lyon Airport is perhaps not directly related to the airport itself, but rather to the railway station that is connected to it. Gare de Lyon Saint-Exupéry, expertly designed by world-famous architect Santiago Calatrava, totally steals the show as passengers and airplanes arrive at the airport. It was inaugurated on 28 June 1994. It is shaped like a huge bird, with a total area of 29,800 m² (400 m long and 53 m wide) " 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
