Took the A330 for a 1.400nm flight between EBBR and an unknown Island in the atlantic  8)

I departed early, around 0500Z, so the shots are naturally more darker than usual Smiley
Just passing Paris

...

These two shots are actually from an earlier sequence, just though they fit in pretty nice here Smiley
...

...

Picture of the "IFR" panel, if I may call it so. When will Boeing introduce a similar version of the ECAM system on their 737's  *jealous*
...

Cruising over the atlantic, enroute to our destination
...

And here's the last picture, my trip got a surprising ending...
...

I flew in real world weather, and during the approach the wind changed from a 15kt tailwind to a 26 kt HEADwind, which resulted in a nice aircraft overstress crash. I damaged the flap system pretty bad I guess...a 3,5 hour flight for nothing huh... Smiley

Anyways thanks for watching!

Nah the warbird would suffer an engine failure and later on being grounded for just being so ugly-looking  Wink

Great shots, love the moon pictures and the cockpit looks great. I hear PSS are selling all their packages half price till end of july now, you've persuaded me go over there and get the A330/A340 package with all liveries hopefully, sorry to hear about the abrupt ending, happy flying.

Love that glass cockpit.  Airbus makes an awesome bird!

Just returned from a cross country business trip on which I flew in a jetBlue A320 (KJFK - KSAN and back).  After the flight I spoke to the captain for a while in the flightdeck and got a quick tutorial on some of the instruments.  What a great experience!
