Another couple of shots from my hourbuilting navigations (Earlier 2009) on a Robinson 22 heli.
This is an approach from "Cavallino - Venezia Lido" area to the Venezia/Lido airport on the outer side of Laguna.
At a time during approach you're low and near on Venice city.
Let's see.
Cockpit view for the lovers.
The Cavallino/Venice Lido area on approach.
Panoramic view of Venice city.
A closest view on Venice city centre, you can see Piazza San Marco on the right side of the photo.
Final approach to Venice/Lido airport. The water channel at the end of the grass runway is an entrance channel for the cruise ships to the Venice harbour. So its not difficult to face with a cruise ship while taking off from RWY 05.
Hope you like it.
Ciao,
