Hey y’all!
Today I tested the high altitude capabilities of the P-38 and man, I missed flying a fast prop fighter apparently!
I took off from my home airport EDSB and headed north, just to see how quickly I could make it to Cologne. VFR to Leverkusen (EDKL) to be precise.
As it turned out: Quickly!
I took a few nice screens on the way so here they are.
Aachen
Bonn
flying straight at FL350 in a prop plane, contrailing, doing 285 knots ground speed.
Descending in style
Cologne!
I think I might a a tad low. But probably it just looks that way, the cathedral is pretty tall.
Buzzing the field.
On final.
And landed. 50 minutes of flight.
My navigation was… a bit basic. Not very straight.
