FLIGHT DETAILS

The Community Fly-In Friday World Tour continues!

Picking up from beautiful Innsbruck where we ended the last stage, we’ll depart on a generally westerly heading to reach the capitals of two more countries, Liechtenstein and Switzerland ! Despite being a sovereign nation, Liechtenstein does not have an airport of its own, so out flight plan will have us fly over the capital city of Vaduz instead of landing there.

We will then continue onwards to scenic Switzerland, with a touch and go at Zurich before arriving at the Swiss capital of Bern for our full stop landing.

For the best experience, be sure to download the FREE World Updates VI & XVIII: Germany, Austria, and Switzerland from the in-sim Marketplace.

4 crashes and 5 planes ago…

I decided to fly on a scenic route, wanted to snap some photos of some of the POI’s, but with flying solo I always do live weather… Well, I could barely see the end of the runway thanks to a mix of rain and fog.

My first three attempts, I decided to bob and weave through the mountainside, needless to say this didn’t go well. I then got fed up and said to myself “time to go up and over” so the F-18 hornet was the choice, as you can see below I even crashed that. I decided to give the hornet one last shot, and it was successful, but when I crashed the hornet I was honestly debating about making base camp and pulling a Hitchhiker’s Guide to the galaxy to see if anyone would give me a lift.

For those who don’t know the reference… in the book and movie they wear a ring on their thumbs, and they stick there thumbs in the air and a beam of light comes from there thumbs in order to get picked up by intergalactic travellers.
