Cape Crusade 13: Cotonou

[Tim_A]

Leg 13: Lomé/Tokoin DXXX to Cotonou/Cadjehoun DBBB
DXXX - DBBB
68nm, 0h 37 (total: 3381 nm, 22h 05)

The second of our three flights along the African coast, takes us from Togo to Benin.



It's a 3000 metre runway, so no need to backtrack!


Left turn on departure


We still have a 1400ft cloud base, but the flight is short so there's no need to climb above it.


Sea on one side, land on the other. It doesn't get more exciting than this! No, really, it doesn't!


Bisecting the coastline!


Nicely set up for a right-hand downwind join to runway 24


Turning right base over Lake Nokoué


The Gulf of Guinea, Atlantic Ocean, and eventually, Antarctica. But I don't think we have fuel enough for that. Landing might be better!


Runway vacated. And so to another session of form filling and passport stamping!

You're productive Tim, another great leg

Just another fine Set! I like that Color Difference between the Water and the Desert! Looks very nice!

Thanks chaps. With these short legs, it takes longer to sort the pictures and write the text than to fly the flight (especially if the tv is on in the background. )

A very nice post.
