http://www.simviation.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=screen;action=display;num=...I'm bored, so don't be confused seeing me working (uploading pic and writing stories) that hard...
Well, after taking that day off in the middle of Sweden (still don't remember the airport's name.
), I packed my bags again and prepared for the real challenge: Eternal darkness! (24/7).
With my new skill (saving fuel) i was really prepared to get it on (coming as close to the pole as possible), but before being able to fly over ice cold water with no soul around, I had to go to Hammerfest/Norway. Nothing serious,but I could get a nice taste of what flights in the polar darkness are like.
Alright,alright,I'll stop talking...
First the map:
Then the pics. The weather hasn't cleared up yet,but that doesn't stop me from flying. Checking everything and starting the engines.
Take off. Hey it's quite busy here today.
Yay,the first northern lights!
Climbing. The sun is starting to set...
..and it's becoming darker and darker. Somehow scary...
Almost gone...
The last sunrays are falling into the 680's cabin. I felt quite sad...
From now on there's just me and the darkness (and some GA planes,from which i heard the radio chatter).
Oh,how beautiful those northern lights are!
On final for Hammerfest's airport,over the cold and icy sea.
Touchdown! (The one,who is able to find my AC in the pic,gets an ice!
)
Parked and secured. Off to town for some nice and warm (and alcoholic) drinks.
Next leg: Hammerfest to an airport somewhere in Greenland (will look up the name,honestly!
).
Greetings,Silent.
