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

Baigneaux (LF21) - Saint-Amand-Montrond (LF94).
France.
Flight No. 006.

  1. Wind park near Santilly.

  2. Chevilly, east of Highway A10 (right).

  3. After missing out on Reims and Paris we finally found another well-known city: Welcome to Orleans! This shot was taken above Les Marmitaines on our way to the Loire River.

  4. Any Age of Empires 2 Player should remember this place: It is here you cross the Loire during the French campaign’s second mission “The Maid of Orleans” after stumbling across a convenient dock! Today the river can be traversed by a much more convient highway bridge though.

  5. The 12ième RC Quartier Maison-Fort between Orleans and Ardon serves as a military encampment for the 12th Cuirassier Regiment of the French Army, a former cavalry regiment turned armored regiment in modern times.

  6. Lamotte-Beuvron on the Beuvron River with its Parc Equestre Fedéral left of our wingtip.

  7. Nouan-le-Fuzelier with its many little lakes and ponds.

  8. Vierzon on the Cher River: You can see mostly the northern part of the city, most prominent the Central Station (right) and the Stade Robert Barran (center-right).

  9. Foëcy between Cher (not visible) and Yevre River (center). The western parts of Les Varennes can be seen at the left bottom of the shot.

  10. The weather didn’t allow us to see much of Bourges, except the Beaulieu suburb as well as the Aeroport de Bourges. What a shame!

  11. The villages of Senneçay (left) and Levet (right background).

  12. Crossing the Cher River near Bruère-Allichamps - a rare shot taken by chance that perfectly worked out in terms of image composition!

  13. Orval (foreground) and Saint-Amand-Montrond (beyond the river).
