The sun rose on the Aegean Sea at 7:00 am. It was a beautiful, quiet and very zen start to the morning.
With all the news about Syria, we are hoping the different entities are feeling the same zen we are and that our flight path does not encounter any "military assets" on our way south.
The crew is ready to go!
A very nice looking bunch
But our ladies top it all.
All confident and ready to fly south...
We could not be further away from all the hot zones
A close up shows you how close we are to the Israel border.
The least we can say is that the approach can be confusing and with big letters, writing out "DO NOT OVER FLY ISRAEL AIRSPACE."
Here is the ILS assigned to us:
For you pilots, how do you start the approach when assigned to fly to the VOR first and then start the approach by avoiding Israel airspace which is .5 miles to the west of the runway!
It would have been a lot easier to ask for a straight in, but at 11,000 feet, 6 miles from touch-down, it can be a little challenging. The PC-12 demonstrated a beautiful go-around after trying.
in Aqaba, the fuel truck is always escorted by the fire truck
Beautiful new FBO facilities
