    Default Smiffy goes round the world - leg 1

    Farnborough to Paris Orly
    Real world WX from ASE
    UTX Europe & GEX Europe
    Justflight BE76 Dutchess

    Ready to go at Farnborough

    Gear goes up

    Climbing to 11000'

    Its a bit bleak up here

    Forgetting I have real world WX on I ice up, so descend as no anti-ice on this plane

    Turning over Normandy

    Paris in the haze

    Subburbs of Paris

    14Kt crosswind we eventually get down

    Off to pay the lading fees, and have lunch in Paris


    Bon Appitit...

    Looks like it is starting out to a be a good Tour Mat, Nice shots. Are you going to fly different aircraft on the tour?

    Cheers John, Im hoping I have enough aircraft with long enough range to do each of the 80 odd legs. Leg 2 is in the cruise as we speak, this time I have an aircraft with anti-icing

    Shots of next leg to follow in roughly 5 hours

    Great firs leg Matt, I look forward to the other 79 legs of your tour. I like world Tours, always give me inspiration to visit places in FS I've never been.
