We had a great online flight today with Par and Christian; a flight that took around 8 hours.
The flight took us from FQMA; Maputo, Mozambique to GGOV; Oswaldo Vieira Intl located in Bissau, Guinea.
First, map of the flight
Par and Christian were flying the MD11 with a precious cargo load, and I was escorting them with the F-111.
I left last... taxiing to the departure runway in a wet Mozambique
... and soon climbing out above the cloud layers to meet up with Christian and Par.
OK, we've got Par in sight
...and pretty soon afterwards I got in formation with Christian
Some enroute shots from Christian
And one of the three of us when Par closed in later on
Arriving at Bissau for a visual approach
Closely followed by Christian
Once parked at the ramp, Par was getting ready to come in also
... Par landing and needing quite some rollout... just stopped before the end of the runway :-)
The three of us at the apron of Bissau
