I took a long brake from the IFC and IF itself. Now i am back and winter is coming. Winter means, that i do have more time to spend with IF. I decided to set myself a goal for this Winter and therefor i have a “small” challenge to share with you! Maybe you want to do it in your own country?
My personal goal: Fly every route (winter flight plan 22/23) from every German Airport! Yes, Munich and Frankfurt are big big challenges, but i will start with the small ones! So lets skip the talking and show my current progress!
I will keep this post up to date, but decided not to write down all the routes. Instead i will give out an percentage and also showcase my top 3 or top 5 routes.
EDDE - Erfurt - Progress: 100% done
My top routes from Erfurt:
3 - B738 Corendon to Hurghada
2 - A319 SundAir to Kussamo
1 - A319 SundAir to Tromso
EDNY - Friedrichshafen - Progress: 100% done
3 - CRJ9 Lufthansa to Frankfurt
2 - B738 Corendon to Hurghada
1 - A320 Easyjet to London Gatwick
And that is it for now! The next Airport will be added in once i worked out and copied the current winter flight plan. I wish everyone a nice fall and winter season, and i hope to inspire some of you to go and get their national Airports known a bit better. I can`t wait to fly the first legs, i will share my progress here and also share some pictures. If a livery isnt ingame yet, i will use the generic model. And if the Aircraft isnt ingame yet, i will use a similar one. Wish you people a lovely day and have clear skies!
I am doing my best to copy the current winter flight plan into my list. 10 out of 21 Airports are already listed (the 10 smallest ones = 144 flights, a ton of Ryanair) and i cant imagine to see where i am in February or March
It is Day 2 of my personal challenge and well, Erfurt is done!
Flight duration from Erfurt:
to Antalya: 3hours 2minutes
to Hurghada: 4hours 19minutes
to Tromso: 3hours 9minutes
to Kittila: 2hours 47minutes
to Kussamo: 2hours 57minutes
Here are my personal highlights from the 5 flights:
The beginning of my journey! B738 rotating out of Erfurt on the way to Antalya
So what did I learned until now?
Erfurt is a beautiful place because of the 3D Airport and I was surprised to meet another player there. Lovely small place.
Wow! I’d love to see you complete this monumental challenge. Now, I want to see somebody try this with the United States and see how many decades it takes them.
Day 7 is nearly done and all flights from Friedrichshafen are done. Here are the flight times:
to Antalya: 2 hours 45 minutes
to Hurghada: 4 hours 9 minutes
to London Gatwick: 1 hour 35 minutes
to Frankfurt: 1 hour 2 minutes (with one go around)
to Skopje: 1 hour 45 minutes
to Tirana: 1 hour 50 minutes
to Tuzla: 1 Hour 25 minutes
And here are my highlights from the last days:
Touchdown in Frankfurt:
I took an entire month off, sadly I had to. But: after my last flight on the 3rd November, on the 3rd December I took back to the skies. I decided to break with my own rules and don’t work on airports until they are done, I try to have a bit more variety and just fly a bit more random. So here are some nice pictures from my 2 flights:
