Hi guys,

Here we go again with another nice MP-Session. Last the one last weekend we flew the same aircrafts again. Namely Dave was flying his F-86, Stefaan his F-16 and I was using the F/A-18E.
At around 17:10Z we started to taxi to runway 33 for departure.


Some time later we all were lined up with the runway and ready for departure. Let's rock France once more:


In the beginning of the flight we had to fight with some low cloud base, but it went well until the terrain rose up high and we had to climb really fast...


On a right downwind to runway 18 at Garons Navy (LFTW) near Nimes.


After my touch and go I was climbing out. I think you can see Dave in the background. Stefaan is also around in the area - he didn't watch his 'six' properly

There he is in front of me preparing for his touch and go...

I was flying for nearly two minutes at his six without him noticing...


At 17:50Z we arrived at Caritat AB (LFMO) and after the touch and go there I was going a little bit vertical




Some enroute pictures:




After the touch and go at Le Versoud (LFLG). Dave is still behind me.


In the background just in front of the lake you can see the airport of Aix-Les-Bains. It has been an alternate some weeks ago. We will visit it again now.


Now Stefaan is behind me.


At 18:33Z I was on final to runway 36L. We really could say: Time flew by!


Taxi in, Stefaan has just vacated the runway. Dave was having some problems with his joystick and he claimed the runway was moving from left to right all the time. These are problems that most drunk pilots do have. Could someone grab the runway and hold it tight?


Everything already shut down and waiting for Dave, who finally managed to land and taxi in. Stefaan is already on my left wing.


Salute to you guys, especially Stefaan!




OK, that was another very nice MP Session with lots of fun again. Looking forward to the next Session that will lead us to Barcelona.

Enjoy the remainder of the weekend and I hope you will have a pleasant week as well.

This kind of flying is ideal for practicing Immelman Turns, Split S's and Barrel Rolls.....
