CONGRATS!!!!

This is normally the case when you take off from RWY25L...it also helps to look out of the window...

Wah ?

eerrr no actually, normally you can't see your hand in front of your face !
I think I can count the number of times I have been able to see Maccau from CLK since it opened.....hmm let me see......yep 12 times in 7 1/2 years.

Of course you must keep it in perspective, I NEVER saw Maccau from the old airport !!

I have not found that looking out the window helps at all !

Yep, saw it too! If only vis was always like this! Only other time I have seen it that clearly was in the sim! Think that was the only time I have had good vis in the sim too, come to think of it.......

Slapfaan, did you get those xray vision goggles from the Mad comics in the 70s???? I always wondered if they worked!

I can see Macau from the balcony and believe it or not but I could see three aircraft on final established on the ILS last night.. Oh and a bright light in the sky I guess that would be the northern star?
