89th X-Plane.org fly-in (Egypt)

-return to picture archive-

 

After getting my computer repaired I was able to continue the summer tour from our last location of Tenerife - I first completed the Tenerife-Casablanca flight that was interrupted by the video card overheating on Sunday. After that I spent the day exploring the Nile south of Cairo, visiting the Valley of the Kings, Lake Nasser and Abu Simbel in addition to the Pyramids of Giza. There are two fly-in banners for this week since I wasn't sure if my computer would be repaired in time - the first one was made on a laptop barely capable of running the sim, and the second one on a PowerMac G4 running the latest 8.50 beta.
