I don't know why but iv started to get a liking for GA planes, around a year or so ago i bought the Carenado M20J but i havnt flown it in ages so i thought i would do a flight with it today.

I knew it had great range so i dicided to flight from UK to Switzerland taking off from Birminham and landing at Locarno.
I find Locarno to be one of the most wonderfull airports in Switzerland so i dicided to go there.

As your find by looking at the time stamp left behind by Xfire, the flight took around 5hours.

Hope you enjoy the pictures i took on the way.

That's one of the very few GA a/c I could see myself spending some time with. Great pics Morris Clapping

Have you noticed how you can fly really low and fast and scare the hell out of the 747 drivers at busy airports? Razz

lol tailhook.

While taxing at Birmingham i did notice alot how everything is so big around me, i had 737's & BAE's around me and i felt like a ant. but such a joy you get from looking at loverly scenery from a great hight is just remarkable. The swiss alps at 15,000ft is better than seeing it at 35,000ft.
