Air Truck Challenge 2022 (aka a "road-bound" World Trip)

In Guezzam (DATG) - Arlit (DRZL).
Algeria & Niger.
Flight No. 027.

Note: This trip is definitely haunted! The Route Nationale 25 between the border and Arlit is 99% haunted (at least ingame)! Brutal winds driving you off the road, but ceasing when you turn away, vanishing houses and a creepy Uranium Mine near the landing strip. TERRIFYING!

Roads Used: Route Nationale 1 / RN1 (In Guezzam - Assamakka) & Route Nationale 25 / RN25 (Assamakka - Arlit).

1. In Guezzam - Assamakka: The uneventful part of the trip - we took off, climbed to 3500ft and passed both the airport and the town itself (1) before heading out into the desert. We came across a weird building where the road apparently ended and the cars and trucks drove off into the dunes (2) before finding the road again near Assamakka in Niger (3).



2. Assamakka - Arlit: The haunted part of the trip - inaccurate maps or shifting roads, evil winds of 30-35kn who calmed to 10-15 whenever we turned east or west and houses that just vanish when you pass them. But still a beautiful desert landscape! Finally we reached Arlit and its Uranium Mine (16 & 17) before landing almost sideways due to the 37kn crosswinds.
