... on the road again. Now this was an interesting leg.

aproaching Vagar on the Faroe Islands. Beautiful place, but very windy  Smiley

...

Midnight sun over Vagar. The freeware scenery for the Faroe Islands is really stunning.

...

Took an extra lap around the Islands that night

...

...

Leaving the next morning.

...

On the way

...

Arriving in Isafjördur. Some call it the "Kai Tak of the north". Certainly one of the more interesting approaches. You have to fly along the edge of the fjord to turn into a very short final.

...

here is a beautiful video of the real thing I found  Wink

Great shots Manuel. The sky in #3 is magnificent.  Smiley

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

I love the feel of the last shot. You can tell it's going to be really cool from that point on. The angle really helps to feel the motion.

Awesome video link.

Cool
