MP091 Bellgarde to Coltines - RedBaron - 10-14-2012 Here we go again with another MP-Session this time I was using FS9 again taking the F/A-18E once more. Doing it this way helped me seeing both of my companions Stefaan and Pär. First I had to get my F/A-18E to Bellegarde from where I had left it in one of the previous sessions. It took me some time to get there and we were already a little bit late and Pär was 'pressing' the departure and so I decided to continue with the Superhornet instead switching to FSX and giving it a try. I had some problems in the beginning taking some pictures. I had Anitialiasing enabled in FS9 and maybe Win7, Snag-it and AA are not the best friends, as I didn't get the pictures taken when I wanted them. Disabling AA in FS9 directly got me pictures taken when I actually took them and so here is the first picture taken somewhere over France en-route to Thalamy (LFCU). After my touch and go at Thalamy I flew a right downwind and in the distance you can see one of the guys approaching the runway. Well somewhere between Egletons (LFDE) and Brive NDB (RH). I am impressed by the engineering of this highway. Maybe it is related to the good French whine? On finals to La Roche (LFBV) runway 32. And after the touch and go: Well, Maintenance forgot to install the grass tires to the Superhornet and so I only shot a low approach to Floudes (LFDR). Although Pär was claiming to fly a Mustang I only could see a T-6 Harvard. Next I had some fun over Merignac (LFBD). Final for Cazaux AB (LFBC). Pär is flying in front of me. And shortly after the touch and go: Still over Cazaux AB. Short final to Mont-De-Marsan AB (LFBM). Stefaan is closing in behind me: I must admit the flight-plan called for 6000 feet, but 5588 feet are also enough - barely Flying a little bit more to the left and it would have hurt very badly: Taxiing in at Coltines (LFHQ) whilst Stefaan is touching down. Pär had to leave early due to 'unforeseen' problems with his FSX again and so only Stefaan and I were left to reach the final destination for this session: Next week there will no MP-Session and so I wish you all two very nice weeks - see you then.
