The end of Christmas approaches fast. Time to wrap up the last leg, from Fascene on the northern tip of Madagascar to Tolagnaro in the south.
For reasons I had to split this leg into two segments - let’s say morning of Christmas day was interesting, so I flew one part on Christmas day wee hours and the other on Boxing day.
Take-off from the open ocean besides Fascene was without hiccups.
Enjoying the landscape of Madagascar after spending the majority of this trek along the coastlines.
Trying to stay below the low cloud cover so our visual navigation has a chance. Also note the fuel transfer from Aux to Main tanks has already happened.
Leg part 2 has me start airborne at the coast, once more.
You probably noticed the weather ahead. Looks like some sort of thunderstorm! Before long we are out of it, didn’t catch a lightning on screenshot though.
Did I forget the plane I’m in? Not a suitable ride for a Canyon Run!
But these were the last hills before the coast. Soon we see the lakes/lagoons before the airfield. We announce our fake stop/go over the radio.
Not even remotely aligned with the runway we take this screen way too low.
Setting the Latecoere 631 down on the water was as easy as always.
We ask for the land carriage to get onto the beach.
In striking distance of the airfield now.
Well, the bar is open! We have German beer, Italian wine and Greek Ouzo to offer. Plenty of that.
I assume we turn the tidy place into something like this for our after Christmas party 
Amazing what a simple AI prompt can do today, though I should have specified German beer, Italian wine and Greek Ouzo!
Congrats to all that are already here, and those that will join us in the next weeks!
As always it’s been quite a blast. The flight was a long one, especially with the slow flying boat in real time, but quite fun. I also enjoyed the interplay with DCS from Cyprus to Egypyt. Thanks for reading!
and nice from you that you brought your own bar
