Thought I'd run the #XPlane #flightsim #Cirrus SF50 Vision jet down to France today to try getting it into Courchevel (LFLJ) which is tricky. Only 1,759' long and you land uphill, takeoff downhill into a deep valley.
Rented a virtual XCub near there, bopped on down and it was an absolute BITCH to land there in real-world winds. Did 3 go-arounds.
So no freakin' way I'm taking the jet into there. Although many turboprops can land there...here is a PC-12 video:

It's new plane day! With the Cirrus Vision SF50, I'm heading back to the Pacific Coast from Palm Springs. The sky kept getting cloudier, so a few planned views unfortunately didn’t happen. Better weather is forecast for tomorrow!

Woke up today in Scotland (Tuesday in the EU) and thought some fresh Danish pastries sounded good, so I took a deadhead over to Copenhagen (EKCH).
No RNAV approaches so far here, all ILSs, but the #Xplane #flightsim #Cirrus SF50 Vision Jet with G1000 handles them perfectly.
As soon as I parked, the ground crew moved in with their baggage conveyor rig. I guess they think the bags come out of my airplane's ass.
They just do things differently over here.
Sitting on the virtual ramp in Inverness, Scotland watching the sun come up after flying from Iceland to complete a North Atlantic crossing in my #Xplane #flightsim #Cirrus SF50 Vision Jet.
Going to bop around the EU for a while, but first I need to top off with Jet-A. Good price today on their virtual fuel here, $0.00/L which translates to USD$0.00/L.
I just need to find a pub and a pint or three.
Just blasted off from KEWR in my #XPlane #flightsim #Cirrus SF50 Vision Jet, bound for St. Johns, Newfoundland (CYYT). Doing the North Atlantic hop over to the EU to fly around for a while.

The winds of change.
(The sky above the supermarket, on my way home!)
These wispy clouds are called Cirrus, they form at very high altitudes in the atmosphere and are made of ice crystals.
The shapes are caused by very high winds up there, usually heralding a weather front coming in, often bringing rain and a sudden change in temperature.
