btw, you should have been at an odd flight level, not an even one

Thanks buddy !!!
Really I didn't know about that rule

[JSchraub]

Nice work

[magic48]

Very, very stunning shots as always!

Thanks buddy !!!
Really I didn't know about that rule

hah, no problemo, the rule is "odd people out east" or at least thats what I use basically, when flying east, you take an odd level, flying west you take an even one.

its for separation purposes, but we get to call the newfies odd, which is a bonus

How do you get such detailed airports?

Why were the wings not flexing?
