ferry flight…part XX

 

3 rd day of the ferry flight from Dubai to St Gallen, near Zurich.

Slowly leaving the Lombardy plain…

…and the Tuscany Apennine.

The Alps!

Part of the fabulous lake of Como. I saw once a documentary on television about this area. Not only that the area is just superb, a lake in the middle of mountains, beautiful and historic villas…there are some vintage seaplanes out there! I’d love to fly again seaplanes down there for sure!

The aeroplane to be ferried, a De Havilland Twin Otter or DHC 6, here being refuelled in Sharm El Sheikh.

 

Gulf of Suez, Egypt mainland on the left, the Sinai peninsula on the right. The canal is located much more to the north, we didn’t overfly that landmark.

 

Over Greece. Snow!
