From the Mountains of Taiwan to the Deserts of the Middle East

TAIPEI to ABU DHABI
A couple of weeks ago I was in the mood to fly the 777-200LR/F, mainly because I think that airplane is really cool because the fuselage and engines especially, are really thicc . As you probably Etihad and Etihad Cargo are based out of Abu Dhabi (OMAA) so I was looking for a good overnighter in since the New Etihad livery is amazing in my opinion, and if you disagree, you’re wrong. It looks amazing on the 777-200F. Taipei is on Taiwan is separated from China by the Taiwan Strait and just north of the Philippines. Taipei has a stunning departure with the Central Mountain Rnage clearly visible. I took off around 10PM EST if I remember correctly and flight time was 9 hours and 38 minutes.

As always please let me know your thoughts and your favorite photo!

The population density of Abu Dhabi is similar to that of which U.S. City?

• New York City, NY
• San Jose, CA
• Austin, TX

The answer to the last question was Jurassic Park which 82% got correct!

A Sunrise in the Rising Desert Sun to the Blue Skies on Hawaii’s Oldest Island

PHOENIX to LIHUE So humans, people, everyone in between and @Tajay . On Easter, Phoenix, Las Vegas and a bunch of other airports were featured, like the ones I flew to in my last post. We could fly any route from Phoenix for @AmericanVirtual as routes of the week, So I decided to fly from Phoenix to Hawaii, surprisingly enough, I decided to fly to Lihue, not Kona. American flies to Kona from Phoenix in their A321NEO but they fly to Lihue in the 757, which I was in the mood to fly. I took a wei…

@NoahM

I’m sure @BigBert10 will like this trivia question too!

All jokes aside, nice shots! Some are a little too “blue” for my taste but I love the angles! The third last is just magnificent!

[Ajaxibrahim]

Oh my… What a shot dude! I always love your work man.

[GameBoy_KIRB]

Oh boy a cargo trip basically my favorites when going to any places to deliver

[NoahM]

@snoman haha those were some great views! And yeah Bert will like the trivia question ;)

@AlphaSeven well you convinced me to try Doha to Auckland in a couple of days in the Qatar 777! Whether my game crashes or not is a different story

@Ajaxibrahim thanks a lot man! I’m happy you like them :D

@GameBoy_KIRB I love that with cargo any route is reasonable!

@NoahM

since the New Etihad livery is amazing in my opinion

Absolutely true!

The light conditions just match the livery perfectly! Really well made as always. Thanks for sharing!

[Aero]

These shots are awesome! The 777F is probably my favorite aircraft in the sim, I can wait for the rework!

[NoahM]

Definitely! When the light shines off it the colors are so cool. I don’t know why but the Gold and Brown blocky spots look amazing in my opinion!

[NoahM]

Thanks a lot! I rarely fly the 77F but it’s awesome, it might become my favorite when it gets reworked

This picture is my favorite! It’s awesome!

[AliAlex]

Really nice images! I love this plane too

[NoahM]

@cptlogue thanks a lot! I rarely fly out of Taipei but the views are amazing ;)

Thank you! @AliAlex I’m a big fan of the 77F too

[Brisbane_Aviator]

@NoahM insane shots! Especially the third one! Still wanna try BNE-WLG-ZQN? Up to you :)

[NoahM]

Thanks a lot! I’m still willing to fly Brisbane to Wellington to Queenstown

But I was also thinking about doing Manila to Brisbane instead, it’s a little cooler imo, because the other flights won’t have much scenery besides around Queenstown, but MNL-BNE is one of the longest narrowbody flights in the world

[Brisbane_Aviator]

Ok sure, Manila to bne sounds cool @NoahM!
