|
| Turning south | Heading for downtown Helsinki | |
|
|
|
| Helsinki VOR is now tuned in - I'm relying on radio navigation for this trip | A view out the left window | |
|
|
|
| Heading south across the Gulf of Finland | ||
|
|
|
| The city of Helsinki disappears into the distance | 7500 feet and climbing | Just above the cloudtops at 9000 feet |
|
|
|
| 10000 feet should be high enough | Already approaching Estonia | |
|
|
|
| This time I'm passing right above Tallinn | Continuing south across Estonia | |
|
|
|
| Now receiving the signal from Pärnu VOR | Leaving the plane cruising on autopilot while I go get some coffee :) | |
|
|
|
| A slight course correction was required once I got back to the controls | The city of Pärnu | |
|
|
|
| Flying south along the Gulf of Riga | The sun is getting low, so it looks like it'll be dark before I reach Vilnius (but with the weather around here I'd be landing IFR anyway!) | |
|
|
|
| Approaching Riga, still using the VORs for navigation | ||
