Excelsior Switzerland 81, LSGG-LEMH

[deepsea345]

as promised in my previous thread, here's the first full flight with Excelsior Switzerland's newest aircraft, the Boeing 737-900ER.

Today's flight takes us from LSGG (Geneva) to LEMH (Menorca) flying a wealthy executive for his summer vacation.

Out on the ramp, an aircraft spotter catches our aircraft during our preparations

We taxi out behind a BA 737 and a LH 737

after the LH 737 starts rolling, we get into position for takeoff

We start our takeoff roll on time...

...and rotate off the runway, turning for Menorca

another aircraft spotter gets us right above his head

the copilot left his camera on timer and placed it on the pedestal, taking this pic

We cruise over the blue ocean...

...and soon enough, we get our vectors to final from ATC

established on the ILS, we drop our gear

on short final, we pass over the coast of Menorca

touchdown!!!
http://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/attachment.php?attachmentid=37517&stc=1&d=1245213896

we roll off on the last taxiway because we were just a little too fast and we skipped the next nearest one

a quick taxi later, another passenger takes a shot of the tower
http://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/attachment.php?attachmentid=37519&stc=1&d=1245213896

we are slowly guided in by the marshaller into our stand in front of the tower
http://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/attachment.php?attachmentid=37520&stc=1&d=1245213896

and a local spotter gets our plane as the passengers leave

Hi deepsea345, I assume these shots were taken in FSX, are the clouds default or are they addon?

Nice pictures.

Thanks

[deepsea345]

thanks for dropping by, mondeomangolf. the shots were taken in FSX and the clouds are from REX (http://www.realenvironmentxtreme.com/) i highly recommend this addon as it gives a whole new dimension to FSX:)
