CONGRATS!!!!

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

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! :hmm: 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!

Bit before my time mate...but nice pic of your mother...

....and Macua (city) IS visible from the airport over there...you just have to look in the right direction...

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?
