8th Leg: LCLK to HECA

LTime to leave Larnaca [LCLK] and head East. I'll fly toward the coast of Lebanon, then turn right going more or less South passing Lebanon first and then Israel, reaching the delta of Nile and Port Said, then finally head toward Cairo Airport [HECA], which is the destination of my flight.

Failures are enabled once again, let's see what will be my karma during this leg...

Larnaca, shortly after take-off. Note the mix of real aircraft (3D) and the photos taken fron the satellite:

After a rather long over-the-water part, I am approaching now the coast of Lebanon, near the Wujah Al Hajar airport:

Marina Dbayeh:

Overflying Beirut Airport [OLBA]

This picture is horrible, but I wanted to show it. This is what you see with TileProxy when you reach an area whose satellite coverage is poor: the images are low resolution only, so what you can see from FSX is a collection of blocks... A pity!

Same from the cockpit. It is marginally better as the landscape is not so close and and the angle of view is wider:

Nesher Power Plant, we are in Israel now:

Cesarea Power Plant, on the coast:

Ben Gurion International [LLBG]:

And the Port of Ashdod:

Ashquelon Oil Refineries:

I have left now Israel, this is the airport of El Arish [HEAR] in Egypt. The satellite imagery resolution is still bad as you can see..

Something is strange. Just after passing El Arish, I saw that the Fuel Flow of the left engine is less that the Fuel Flow of the right one. No idea what's wrong, so I will simply keep flying... 

Approaching Port Said and the entry points of the Suez Channel in the Mediterranea Sea:

Nice side view of the Twin Star:

Finally... Cairo International is in front of me, I am supposed to land on 05L doing a left circuit, so I am about to turn right, fly downwind of 05L then turn over Cairo and land. The resolution is now better: 

Passing Cairo Airport:

Turning over Cairo:

On Final:

And finally taxing to a parking place.

Not bad. Next Leg will be focused on Egypt, taking-off from Cairo, giving a look at the Pyramids (mandatory!) and then go South following more or less the Nile until Aswan
