Where is this?

[forthbridge]

Hi All,

Trev's 'Classic' quiz (which I have *no* idea on STUPID ) got me thinking about another 'teaser'..

I've decided to take XM598 for a good few trips - aiming to go RTW - but in a roundabout way...

I have chosen a 'fairly' easy location for the start of the journey. A little orientation flight at night (as all our landings will be in darkness) sees the Vulcan coming in for a low pass.

I'll add a new location weekly (regardless of incorrect or lack of answers) ;-)

Bear in mind that the flights can go in any direction to get back to the start location - even doubling back - so it is all about range. I shall leave at minimum a 1-hour reserve at all times, and will fly in 'real weather' with winds aloft.

Without further ado, who knows where our 'base' is?

First Prize to Tonks :flying: ;-)

It is Diego Garcia. Now you have a week to get a head start on where the first port of call will be when the trip starts :tab:

I would have said the same thing as tonks, PS there is i believe a really reasonable scenery pack for that place somewhere... hmmm adventures await our eyes

HI Chris,

I've not seen the pack for there yet - I do have a few installed in any event: but there's little point me putting up a screeny of the turn in at Kai Tak

I need to give you lot some thinking ;-) - hence night landings

In fact, for anyone interested, I already have the flight planned. I shall post a departure shot midweek, including heading - and prior to the 'landing' shot going up it will be interesting if anyone can guess correctly the destination beforehand!

Mount Everest???

PS the DG scenery is called "fjdg.zip" at avsim if anyone wants to know

Mount Everest???

And one or two others ;-)

Cheers for the DG HU

Been past it on a ship and it looks NOTHING like that!! In fact, I've been there on a ship and it looks nothing like that. More your proverbial 'Cow Pat' in the Indian Ocean and very difficult to see from sea level unless you're close

Just wait til you see some of the places I've got lined up :flying:

Which, of course is the whole point ;-)
