Indeed, the Alps are on my right, there they are at the bottom. I find it incredible to think that after more than a year, Italy is back there. Oops, I forgot the map of the stage: here it is!
As you can see they are almost near the end, I am just beyond Chambéry.
begin to lose altitude because basically I can already see the Lake Geneva, also known as Lake Geneva.
Visibility is good and I can see the airport: I make a turn so by the book.
I have not exaggerated: look at that line!!
Ok, I'm pulling the casino, but I would say that mine is an array of 'Swiss precision'!
In short final at the airport of Geneva I can appreciate the wonderful work done by the very Italian FSDreamTeam authors of this addon.
landed I being asked to leave the track and I make my way to the right where there is a lot 'of traffic ground as you can see.
Asked to discover that I had to park out on the left and then I have to re-cross the track, but I have to wait for take-offs all the traffic I had seen pass under his nose. This is the first.
Now the second.
And last MD-80.
to the other side waiting for me two old glories of Swiss military aviation used as gate-guardian: a Hunter and Mirage III .
are very close to Italy and my long journey coming to an end: I just have to decide which way to 'get' ... decide!

Numbered Porcelain Figurines
Cerco di riconoscere i posti e rimango letteralmente 'basito': è tutto uguale! Ok, non c'è la splendida vecchia cattedrale che s'affaccia sul porto e mancano anche le antiche mura, ma la città è resa bene ed appena fuori città c'è pure il mio villaggio: vedete la piscina? Ok, se proprio vogliamo sottolizzare la piscina non had that form, but there is a tourist village and FSX, UTX Europe would be better to say, put him there. Incredible! But still I have not taken that ... but I had a bath in this cove below !!!!!!!!!!!
looking for a place called Cala Llonga in Ibiza and compare it with that of FSX, you will find that is the same. I recover from the astonishment and in just over 20 minutes are Palma de Mallorca, on the stairs: too crowded (in fact it is already the holiday season).
viro On the city and across the island of Majorca .
The island reminds me of Ibiza version greater: there is the sea, but there are also beautiful mountains, but leave Majorca and we cross a stretch of the Mediterranean. Other
20-25 minutes and I'm already ahead of the Iberian coast, I am not yet entirely accustomed to the fact that in Europe everything is so close (I remember endless certain stages in Africa, Asia, etc.).
In a moment are El Prat, the international airport of Barcelona: the traffic here is great, I can see and hear on the radio.
Since I'm a bit in reserve 'I decide that the around the city of Barcelona I'll do it at the start of the next stage, some peaks in the distance mi fanno intuire che FSX qui non deluderà. Intanto procedo con la manovra di avvicinamento e in vista della testata pista mi chiedo chi sarà mai quel genio che ha costruito tutte quelle case a ridosso dell'aeroporto.
Dalle comunicazioni capisco che c'è chi sta aspettando il mio arrivo e mi sbrigo; ricordo ancora l'ansia dei primi atterraggi con un velivolo nuovo, ora dopo tutte queste miglia mi sembra facilissimo (ma bisogna stare attenti, è proprio questa confidenza che alle volte causa incidenti).
Una volta a terra sembra di essere sulla tangenziale di Milano in ora di punta: un traffico sulle taxiway da paura; rischio un frontale con l'Airbus qui sotto.
Vengo anche 'Blow' by ATC for not having stopped ... okay, thankfully it's a game!

Why Does My Kitten Have A Saggy Belly
Il mio viaggio prosegue virando verso il mare sino a quando raggiungo Cabo de Palos . Si prosegue quindi verso nordest sino a raggiungere Alicante .
Decido quindi di buttarmi verso il Mediterraneo per andare a dare un'occhiata the Balearic Islands. Here is the island of Formentera I visited on a day a few summers ago. Exactly as I remembered, a meaningless plateau with a crazy hot (I never understood why it is so famous, there is nothing to see).
And as usual I forgot my map of the stage, ok, I'm good, I put it now so you can see where it will land ;-)

How Many Types Of Angina Is There?
As mentioned in previous post, in Salamanca, I did a top up of fuel - very wise move as we shall see - and I'm heading south on a few large plateaus and mountains. varied landscape, not at all boring, fortunately, because missing waypoint to the next hour.
More and more I head south the landscape gives way to the Mediterranean Evidently, the sea is not far away.
finally sighted the airport and the city of Seville !
The city is huge and looks very good on the river Guadalquivir , but even a flyover I could not see any of the characteristic monuments of the city.
When FSX came out I remember that in Europe there were a lot of criticism as some areas were represented: the users were dissatisfied with the Spaniards and the Italians. I know that these people did not own and did not entirely wrong in that, despite various addons, Spain and Italy are still a bit 'too far away from a discrete realization, certainly is a lot better in North America. But we continue the journey and look closely at the photo below: why?
Why is the last image of an ocean you see: I'm done with the oceans, now back to 'sea nostrum '. And you know what? WAS NOW !!!!! In the picture above are near Cadiz, a city famous in the Napoleonic era because it was signed here in 1812 the famous Constitution same name which was later taken as a model for many 800 ( Carlo Alberto of Savoy eg ). With a turn of 90 ° within the decidedly Mediterranean sighted and my goal: Gibraltar !
From here you can see very well the Strait of Gibraltar , right under my Mooney: in the distance are the coasts of Africa.
I look out the window what were called the 'Pillars of Hercules' , where you could not go further: nec plus ultra !
The airport of Gibraltar is the characteristic rock side, but after all the mileage does not bother me much.
And here I am in the final, now you understand why I did the filling in Salamanca was more than Providence? They fired into the reserve as the lights made me out a long time.
does not seem true to be so close to home and I are already in mind all the distant places where I went ... but calm, I still have to come! Oops, I forgot the map of the stage: here it is!
