| Getting ready to depart Skardu, Pakistan in a Douglas DC-3 (clock set back 12 hours again, so the sun is just rising) | Starting up... | ...and taxiing to runway 14 |
|
|
|
|
| Only default weather available this time, cloud layers at 10000 and 20000 ft (notice we're quite close to the 10000 ft one!) | Lining up for takeoff | |
|
|
|
|
| A very unsteady takeoff (forgot to max out the realism options after updating the sim... but wasn't the artificial stability supposed to help, rather than hinder you?) | ||

| Heading northwest and passing the airport | Above the cloud layer at 10000 ft | |

| 15000 ft and climbing | Departing Skardu | |
|
|
|
|
| The sun is rising from behind the mountains | Need to keep the cowl flaps at least half open during the climb, in order to prevent the engines from overheating | |
