    Sliver Bullet looking mightily fine!

    I thought of popping over to MAN today, but the forecast made my mind swing the other way 😮

    So despite the fact that i thought up the idea when i was drunk, my word i enjoyed it! The major factor was the worldwide network that Star Alliance carriers offer!

    I flew many airlines, sadly not all, but i touched bmi, Air Canada, United, Ted, Air New Zealand, ANA, Asiana, Thai, Singapore, Austrian/Lauda, and Lufthansa, which isn’t bad at all 😀

    I kept a log of my flights via the data on the FMC, and i clocked up 36759 Miles in 11 days! :dev2:

    The map below is a superb graphical description of my travels

    So, it was an excellent way to end 2006. I hope you enjoyed the shots!

    So, where to OneWorld fly to?……………………………….

    RTW COMPLETED!

    So there we are! Entered UK airspace about 1850 Local, and touched down on UK soil in Manchester ar 1920!!

    As it was night time, and ATC online was everywhere, i didnt get much chance to take shots, and i forgot to save the two FRA-MAN shots, which i flew the “Lu” A319 😡

    Ah well, on with the last two flights! Flew VIE-FRA in an Austrian A319

    Conditions were just the same as i when i landed 2hrs earlier, so decided to take no shots! But here’s me on the RNAV approach to FRA!

    And then, just one shot of the final leg, with me parked up on stand 21, back at MAN!

    Summary next!

    Climbing out, this 736 really can climb!
