Smooth take-off from Runway 26L at Gatwick barely any winds and excellent visibility.
Climbing from 25,000ft to 35,000ft, check out that sunset over the english channel! 🔥
Above Portugal just started passing by the atlantic. This is the view for an hour and a half.
Started our descent and Madiera is in sight already! Approaching RNAV to Rwy05.
On final rwy05, This is the most challenging appraches in europe! (nearly died on the 1 mile final) Reminds me of the OG Kai Tak airport.
