Leaving Europe for Africa, Marrakech awaits us.....

Our leg to Marrakech, leaving for Africa.

we are at the latitude of Atlanta, Georgia, but the feel of the desert is here

First we have to get ready:


Our crew are getting dressed up properly, Hiro-san received her "Galons"


This is my crew, very elevant


N42WZ, managed to get the clearance first and was the first one out on the taxiway for the 400 nm flight to Marrakech GMMX


Our very nice looking means of transportation


KB always next to us and sharing our impatience for the fuel truck, the process nearly took 2 hours


Pleasant wait

Our route

Our route to Morocco, while it was only 400+ nm it was the longest day of our journey with a combination of fuel delay, flight plan and hold on the tarmac in GMMX 

we are starting to be good at these STAR with ARC DME, while we were set up and ready...of course we got a direct to the IAF but...with guess what a HOLD...
man i have never done so many hold in these journeys,

where is Paul Sanchez and his magic trick to set up these
