Often I am to late. The Boeing 757 is long gone in most of the european Airlines. Airbus A 321/A330 and the Boeing 787 Dreamliner have filled it´s rule. So it is with Iberia, the spanish Flag Carrier. But today we have a flight deep in to Africa, over the Sahara to Lagos, Nigeria.

I didn´t want today make a lot of word´s. Here are the pictures...





We are underway from Barajas... the biggest Airport in Spain and an entry from Europe to South America. We are flying today the other way... to Africa... Slight rain today in Madrid, tempratures around 20 Celsius...





Fare well Barajas...



Flying South bond...







Overflying the Mediterranean Sea...



Reaching the coast of Algeria...



Over the Sahara desert... and no sight of it



At approach we fly in to the african night.







Last moments of this flight...





We came to stop a bit outside near the military apron. No idea, why we are not parking at the terminal. But this is africa...

Aircraft: The Qualitywings Boeing 757-200, the airports: Madrid Barajas from Aerosoft and Lagos found at simarket, weather: Opus and textures from REX ...

One QW aircraft I don't have, but the 757 , mine is a Captains ... RIPPING BRILL

I have this aircraft in use since it is on the market... some time ago. First in FS 9 and now for years in FSX. There was pretty evolution with this aircraft. This is Version 1.3...

Its funny how we stick with the tried and tested as it morphs into the next sim

Another great story, thanks Andreas. I'm another QW 757 fan, does the trick nicely and LOADS of liveries for it

The Boeing 757 is a good and solid aircraft. I like it more to fly them as Airbus-Types. The Feeling is better.

Without a doubt European Brussle Sprout ... always go Boeing !

At these moments I am under way in Latin America from La Paz EL Alto, Bolivia and to the brandnew scenery from Aerosoft from the old airport of Quito, "Mariscal Sucre Airport" a really challenging route. Option is in reality an Airbus 320. But I opted for the historical variant, a Boeing 727-200 from TAME, the old airline of ECUADOR. as it was typical from the 80's to 2003. The Boeing 727 has enough power and i can use it without to "asking for" those damn Computers and also I have no problem with the fact, that Aerosoft and Navigraph may have no longer the old and closed airport of Quito in the navigation databese for the FMC/MCDU of more modern aircraft...

The 727 , First 'Captain Sim' aircraft I brought when it was first released 15 years ago and again brought it for FSX still a goodie
