Antalya - Amman/Jordan

We arrived safe at sunset in Amman/Jordan after 3:00 hours flight from Antalya. Routing was via southern coastline of Turkey right turn over Cyprus, southbound to Israely airspace, weather was just fine, 15 kts tailwind, level 110 minimum for israel airspace, IT WAS COLD up there! Shortly before reaching Israel border we decended to 7000 feet. Again, like always over water...many thoughts about what can happen. Mr. Lycoming was with us again, good job, very well done. I am happy about my ferrytank, gives me a big reserve.

Me as slower airplane was leading the ship, Hannes squaked and I talked. It´s a pleasure to fly with Hannes!

Facts from Tannheim to Amman till now:

Flighttime: 11:53
Distance1.800 NM = 3.333 km
Fuel used: 606 Litres
It feels like almost at destination here, but just about to reach half way to Abu Dhabi.

Some impressions of today:


Departure Antalya, Hannes on my wing...thanks for joining Baby!





Turkish southern coastline...





Well, this is my cockpit, good enough for us, two Garmins and my shaky attitudeindicator





Cyprus..passing on the eastern edge...I like landscape!







...good feeling...approaching Tel Aviv Coast...


Me and Tigerbaby feeling well :-)





And again..I like my Lycoming...let´s hope and be good to the AEIO540!

Yes, it´s Jerusalem! Amen!

You wanna know how big Amman is? here´s the answer...


Amman Marka Int´l airport


Thumbs up! A-TEAM safe in Amman.

The other pictures from Amman we had to delete on the camera, the military wanted to have our camera, so we made the deal to delete...hmmm...what about that? Funny thing on the approach, the Amman controller did not know that we were two planes, so they told us a story about something we are not sure...F15! we was faster! :-)

1:32 o´clock, time to go sleep for tomorrow, plan is to depart 0930 lt to Hail, Saudi, then to Jeddah, from where we will inform about our day three!

Thanks for checking in, we hope all is well with you,

yella yella from Amman
