I looked out of the cockpit window and took one of my favorite shots of 2023, just as we’re about to leave it.
Happy New Year all !

My last flight of the year 2023
Early morning with Finnair, Airbus A320-214, OH-LXM from Molde-Arø (ENML) to Ivalo (EFIV)
I know, which one is the sim. The bottom one, both aircraft have the same number. Otherwise, hard to tell, which one is the sim.
Ah good eye, I shouldve used a differnt livery lol
I am running out of bush-trip options in real weather, because of winter in northern hemisphere. And lot of remaining options have a grass-strip in area covered in snow. And usually those are closed and unmaintained in winter.
So I started Aloha Hawai bush-trip in WB-Sim C172: HI01 PHDH
The first leg was mostly over the water, so not many pictures. However, nice sunset at least.
Kilauea Point Lighthouse
Destination airport KHDH is a bit “confusing”. In SkyVector it is named Kawaihapa airfield, but in sim it is named Dillingham airfield. Also UNICOM frequency is 123.0 (in SkyVector), but 122.9 in sim. Another interesting information is that it is military airport that is open also for civil aviation. So I had to check NOTAM for any military operations.
First flight of the year, from Nice Côte d’Azur to Naples-Capodichino, with a cargo A330, Happy New Year everyone
Bought JustFlight Hawk T1 on xbox , about to go for my first flight in it.
Next leg of Adriatic countries bush-trip in TBM 930: LDZD LDSP
Unfortunately the weather didn’t permit to finish the last leg to Sarajevo.
how did the reinstall work?
Today marks the third day of my world tour. But instead of going further East, I decided to make a bit of a detour South. So I flew from Istanbul towards Cairo.
The weather was absolutely aweful, high clouds almost the entire flight. So instead of seeing an ocean beneath me, I just aw grey clouds
But things could get even worse, the ILS for RW05L at HECA is broken, so I had to do a go-around and land on 05C. By the time I touched the ground, the sun had completely set. I guess the sights will be for the next leg?
One good thing is that my landing was absolute butter!
Enjoy some of the many screenshots I took
Christmas present to self was the LVFR A321 Neo. Added the Horizon Sim mod as well. Been spending times off from holiday revelry getting acquainted with all the quirks - and there are some, but most are easily dealt with. Getting GSX to work right with it for one thing. Learning the hard way that I need an external mod for figuring out the TO performance. Seems a bit of a frame-eater as well. Almost ready for a flight with it.
A few days ago I found an offer for a scenic flight around Oban. This afternoon the live weather was perfect for the time of year to do this scenic flight in MSFS with my Tanarg 912. I took the liberty of including a small stopover in Glensanda.
