Nice screenies, especially the 'Enroute over the Alpes' ones, and after looking at your route I might try flying it too.
Have a nice flight, looking forward to more screenies.

Hey Johan
When you get to Johannesburg, see if you can spot the Starliner belonging to the South African Airways Museum Society. It's on SAA Technical ground, adjacent to the domestic terminal. I visited it a couple of months ago.
regards
Thomas
