good morning/afternoon/evening/night/whatever time of day it is for you

Yesterday did my first actual successful A350 flight from Hamad International to Helsinki-Vantaa International as part of the Middle East flyout event hosted by BravoCharlie. (Yes it was my first A350 flight, I originally tried to do a flight from Manila to Heathrow in a Philippine A359 but that failed coz my game crashed.) Very clean and good 5-hour flight (but when I got to approach, because I was busy with something else I had to make a few holding patterns, delaying my arrival into the airport). Fortunately, my landing V/S was -141fpm so that wasn’t bad. Also I forgot to change the visibility which is why most of the sky is white
