| Starting at Oulu Airport, where I left off last week |
Ryanair 738 taxiing runway 12 EFOU |
Caution, balloon near active runway! |
|
|
|
| Taking the runway |
Takeoff from EFOU |
Northward view on climbout |
|
|
|
| Climbing to 5000 feet, flying a left hand traffic pattern because I'll see more photo scenery that way :D |
Turning left to fly above the central city |
Of course I had to fly over my home on departure :) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Now turning to follow the FMS course |
A view of the central city and Oulunsalo from the plane's left wing |
Passing 10000 feet, approaching Hailuoto (which, as you can see, has much less detailed scenery!) |
|
|
|
| Departing Oulu |
Autopilot set for climb to cruise altitude |
A better view of the island of Hailuoto, complete with an unfortunately positioned airport |
|
|
|
| Out of the clouds, passing Raahe at 18000 feet |
Still climbing past Pietarsaari (Jakobstad) |
Reaching the cruise altitude of 40000 feet near Vaasa |
|
|
|
| Now above the Gulf of Bothnia |
Approaching Sweden |
Looks like I'm still far enough north to be out of V8 scenery coverage near Västerås |
|
|
|
| I'm not far from 60°N though, here's a view to the south |
Passing through Norway |
The ground is hidden by clouds at the moment, but as the scope shows I'm passing Oslo |
|
|
|
| Cruising above the North Sea |
Approaching St. Abbs in the Scottish Borders - nasty weather below, according to the scope |
Here's a look at those overcast clouds |
