Mediterranean to Atlantic that is...flying from Marseilles to Toulouse to San Sebastian (Spain)

Leaving Marseilles...and the Mediterranean Coast
...

I made a few operational mistakes...first, forgot to turn on wing and stab anti-icing
...

Then, after my stop in Toulouse, I forgot to turn on the AC which meant the aircraft didn't pressurize.  You can see the mask on the pilot, and there are masks in the cabin...this is cruising along the Pyrenees at the French - Spanish border
...

Final approach to San Sebastien in the rain.  This is a neat location for an airport, the border between France and Spain is literally in the middle of the bay. Check it out on airliners.net (ICAO: LESO)
...

Parked with the beautiful Pyrenees beckoning me to fly over them
...

Thanks for looking, comments welcome!

First one's for me Shocked.
 

Most people think that flying a plane is dangerous, except pilots because they know how easy it is.
Arguing with a pilot is like wrestling with a pig in the mud, after a while you begin to think the pig likes it.

Very nice aircraft....great shots of it too Cool Cool
 

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings. Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"
