Local flight within Saudi Airspace, after friendly welcome in Hail, full tanks, we departed dct enroute to Jeddah.
Btw. 8000 and FL100, 160 kts GS, 2:30 h flight time. Very interesting landscape, it was a big adventure to see the landscape from Saudi on this route.
We landed just after sunset in Jeddah on 36R, on the picture below you can see our formtion with the airliner for 36L.
our total flighttime till today is almost 17 hours, I burned 900 litres of fuel and travelled appx. 5.000 km till now.
Landingfee in Jeddah is 800 Dollars per aircraft, hmmmm....
First time in Saudi, big impression, to much to write here, believe me, its a long way to here with an airplane like the Extra, good fun! Now I know why I have choosen to be an Aviator!
Best from me and Hannes out of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia,
all well here! We will continue to Abu Dhabi March 31st after the show here in Jeddah.
again...dessert...as far as you can see...but always somewhere something in nowhere...
I am glad I took my autopilot with me, maybe I should applay for an STC for that!!
Red See, Approaching Jeddah from the north along the coastline, getting dark soon...
Final approach RWY36R in OEJN, check out the airliner on the left wing...
we made it! Safe in Jeddah!
Yella Yella habibi!
