#RoundTheWorldIn80Legs #MSFS2024 Leg 42/80

ZPJH Xishuangbanna Gasa - VLLB Luang Prabang Intl

Diamond Twinstar action today as we left Yunnan, over the border into Laos

will need to do more exploring on the way out but man, the ILS approach for runway 23 has you coming in over the Mekong River and it rules, actually

#RoundTheWorldIn80Legs #MSFS2024 Leg 41/80

ZPLJ Lijiang Sanyi - ZPJH Xishuangbanna Gasa

Took the Baron 58 down to the far south of Yunnan province in China this afternoon, to Banna, a place that borders both Laos (where we head to after this) and Myanmar

absolutely gorgeous part of the world, imo

#MSFS2024 #RoundTheWorldIn80Legs 39/80 VNLK Lukla, Nepal - VECA Chabua AFB, Assam, India

Distance - 524nm

Almost at the halfway point! And what better way to celebrate that than by departing out of the gateway to Mount Everest for a Turbo Baron hop over into the Assam region for an evening stop at the local Indian Airforce Base?

Lukla is legit a challenge to land in and out of, visual approaches/departures only and short field takeoff performance is an absolute must

Worth it once you get clear of terrain though, Nepal is absolutely gorgeous <3

#RoundTheWorldIn80Legs #MSFS2024 Leg 36/80

VIJR Jaisalmer - VIDN Dehradun, India

been too busy flying airliners to properly keep on top of these. but hey it's nice to be back in the turbo Baron!

Today's flight took me out of Jaisalmer, The Golden City, in the western state of Rajasthan, in the middle of the Thar Desert - all the way over to Dehradun, in the Doon Valleys in Uttarakhand!

Naturally being in the Himalayan foothills, you're guaranteed an interesting approach, in my case it was being vectored in for a visual RW26 landing

#RoundTheWorldIn80Legs #MSFS2024 LDLO Losinj, Croatia - LWOH St Paul The Apostle, Ohrid, North Macedonia

Losinj was a piece of cake compared to the arrival for LWOH, holy terrain clearance and thunderstorms batman

#RoundTheWorldIn80Legs #MSFS2024 Leg 24/80

LOWI Innsbruck, Austria - LDLO Losinj, Croatia

Aircraft - Black Square Beechcraft 58 Baron TC

I skipped a bunch of updates bc visibility was pretty bad going through the uk, france and into switzerland, we back now though

this was a really fun approach into the Croatian island of Losinj, located in the northern adriatic sea

#RoundTheWorldIn80Legs #MSFS2024

Leg 14/80 EGPB Sumburgh - EGPU Tiree

Quick turnaround in the Turbo Baron over to the western isles! You can see the Skye Bridge on the way in, which is nice :3

#RoundTheWorldIn80Legs #MSFS2024

Leg 13/80

EKVG Vagar - EGPB Sumburgh, Shetland Isles

Aircraft: Black Square Beechcraft Baron 58TC

I appear to have caught shetland on a day where it's not foggy or windy!

#RoundTheWorldIn80Legs #MSFS2024 Leg 12 -

BIHN Hornafjordur, Iceland - EKVG Vagar, Faroe Islands

Aircraft: Black Square B36T Beechcraft 36 Bonanza (Turbine)

This instrument approach is not for the faint of heart! Offset localiser, strict adherence to procedure due to surrounding terrain, and the charts stating "expect moderate to severe turbulence" tell you what to expect here

worth it though!

Leg 11 (a relatively short one this time) - BISL Skaftafell - BIHN Hornafjordur

Aircraft used: Blackbox Simulations Britten Norman BN2 Islander #RoundTheWorldIn80Legs #MSFS2024
