Now that I flew a lap (sorta) around the US and crossed the Atlantic, I've decided to explore the Mediterranean. I hopped around Italy a bit from France and I decided to go out towards Portugal and then head back around.

So a few shots from tonights flight from Venice to Marseilles

Departing at sunrise:

Turning over the Mediterranean, messing with your perspective Tongue

Plane looks good in the morning light

Turning towards Marseilles over the southern French Alps

Had a perfect landing, but landing screenshots never really work without FS Recorder or other camera apps. And since I don't currently have any installed and insist on flying more than taking screenshots (for once Grin

), I have no pictures.

Instead, shutdown for a day of fun in Marseilles.

Hope you enjoyed, thanks for looking! Comments welcome as always

Wonderful shots, Jake...

I admire your enthusiasm for branching out abroad, in your flights...
I seem to have been firmly welded to the State of California, (and surrounding area), every day, for the past 15 years, in my flight sims!... Shocked

I really must make some time to go out and explore the rest of the World...sometime... Wink

...!
The majority (all) of my flights involve short, land hops, around local airfields/airstrips, less that 150 miles.
I would worry about things like engines and fuel consumption, (and whether I remembered to bring an inflatable dingy), involving Trans-Atlantic/Trans-Pacific flights!

It's a Cessna Citation Mustang, you can buy it from Flight1. It's an amazing addon, so realistic that they actually refer you to real Garmin manuals for further help Shocked

And Paul, you could just slap some floats on your 152 and paddle the rest of the way Grin

Cool shots! I also like the lighting in some of your shots. My favorite is the last one though.

Interesting story of a real Cessna 150/2 crossing the atlantic http://www.cessna150-152.com/transatlantic.htm. Truly amazing story.

BTW great shots too! I wish you could get that bird for FS9 Cry
