Today's leg is my last in North Africa, and yesterday I made an early morning flight from Matruh to Cairo Egypt...

Cairo was a nice city. The old stone buildings and ancient relics of a bygone civilization made me fell like Indiana Jones! Just without the wip or Nazis... Tongue

The Pyramids had been spectacular! I got sun burn just standing there looking up at them in awe, and then, that night, I saw the sun set behind them from across the Nile. Beautiful!

Morning came and it was time to leave. I got to the airport early, around seven, so that I could get to Alexandria quickly.

I took off...

Once in the air I rocked my wings to say goodbye to Cairo and all it's mysteries, and followed the Nile north.

There was nothing new along the river, nothing I hadn't seen the day before.

I reached Alexandria about an hour after leaving Cairo and I tuned to Alexandria International for permission to land.

I turned Peggy towards the runway and greased her in for a smooth landing.

I taxied to parking, shut her down, and tied her down. I then grabbed my hat from the rear and was ready to play Indiana Jones again. Grin

Thanks man. I'm not even sure if I have autopilot. If I did it would probably take me a few hours to figure it out. Normally I just trim it for level flight, so if nature, or anyone else, calls I don't have to pause it.

Acually I haven't flown in a long time. I had all the shots for my legs up to 15 pilled up and I need to post them. Thats what the last few weeks have been for. I think I'm caught up enough now...I'm going to go find Italy.
