"Last Call for flight ETH805 to Dar es Salaam:" Ethiopian Max bound for Tanzania

First flight with Ethiopian Airlines from Addis Ababa. I already had one flight done from Dar es Salaam to Kinshasha with Air Tanzania.

Something interesting regarding the Max of IF is that it has a 6000kg difference from what Simbrief mentions: My TOW given by Simbrief was of 60000kg, but adding thr necessary fuel to reach my destination raised my weight to 66000kg. Don’t kniw if it’s an IF thing or Simbrief, but it made me scratch my head a bit.

Entering runway 07R. I had to do some maneuvering to reach it:

Over the arid evironment of Africa:

Approaching Tanzania, which unlike Ethiopia, has lush greenery all over:

Final approach into Dar es Salaam:

Touchdown! A bit firm, but nice enough for me:

Taxiing to our gate:

Parked after nearly three hours of flight:

Africa is rather underappreciated, so I’m trying to give it more visibility. I was planning to fly with SA Airling between Cape Town and Johannesburg, but ran out of sub time to make it.

Wonderful flight and photos hoping we will be to see the Ethiopian livery on the B738Ng for even more realism flying around Africa!

If you have any routes that can be flown to, from and inside Africa do send me a PM, and I’ll try to fly them whenever I can. Make sure to send me the airline, route and flight number, so I can put the data on Simbrief and generate a flightplan.
