Brazilian Grand Prix Trip - Last GP trip **Lots of Pics**

[Shamrock128]

Well the season comes to an end, and with it comes the end of my Globe Trotting! I've enjoyed following the championship around the FS World over the past seven months - I hope some of you enjoyed the reports too!

This last trip involved the longest flights I have ever flown in FS - Starting in Tokyo we fly to Sao Paulo via Anchorage for a fuel stop and crew change - over 24 hours of flying.

I took approx 150 shots and could only manage to edit that down to about 30 - some of which where taken in the overnight legs and may be a bit dark :-hmmm

Anyway on to the shots..................

We fly the Varig MD-11 for this trip

Also good to see Rubens finally finish his home race - and on the podium too!

I'm not sure I will fly to every race next year but I'm already looking forward to the new season!

Thank you all for looking over the past few months!
