Today I managed to fly to and over the Top of the Kilimanjaro.


A beautiful view from far away



Still far Away, AND still very High.



Coming closer and will we make it?




YES, we fly over the top of Kilimanjaro!   

Nice pictures and I for sure had better weather when I did fly leg 03.

Nice one, Brian. Can't miss you NAV lights.

Interesting flightreport and nice pictures.

Flight 02 in the high mountains of Colombia proved fairly straightforward- a nice selection of terrains and landmarks along the way, great weather and plenty of navaids to feed into the radio stack before a descent over the ridge into Bogota.

Flight 03 was a slightly different experience- flying inadvertently with real-world weather meant encountering a significant storm front. High heat and humidity seemed to blunt climb performance, and by the time I reached the intermediate touch and go at Caracas the weather called for a full ILS approach.

Mindful of the mountains hidden in the clouds all along the coast I opted to continue East, only picking up the route again once I'd climbed about 8000', a detour of about 20NM or so. As the flight proceeded inland the weather cleared up nicely for a VFR arrival.

All plain sailing apart from forgetting to switch tanks and getting a polite reminder from a sputtering Engine 1...

Thanks, Hartwig.
The WT-staf.

Nice, I expected some screenshots fromyou.

The approach to the Victoria Falls.

The Falls itself were a little disappointing view to me, but sola for completeness sake

this leg I flew FSX.

The WT is fun to fly. I want to express my gratitude and thanks to the team.
Great job from the volunteers.
Cheers
