Saturday Night Fever - Yeah, Travolta is here!
The heat gave a truce, and I dared to make this flight. This was the flight that was missing last year.
The beautiful B707-300B of Captain Sim, in the colors of Qantas B707-138B "Jett Clipper Ella".
A beautiful flight from Los Angeles (KLAX) to Jumbolair/Greystone (17FL), in Ocala, Florida.
17FL doesn't have a Control Tower, but I had to "add one", because Radar Contact didn't make available an UNICOM frequency. It's weird, but it was the only way.
Sceneries:
- KLAX scenery from AVSIM Library
- 17FL scenery by FSDT (freeware if you have their KORD)

Flying home for Christmas 2014
I had planned to do two more flights before the end of the year, but for personal reasons this will not be possible.
So this is the last flight of this year, and as I have been doing in recent years, it is again with an Air Berlin 737 NGX.
This is a short flight between Munich (EDDM) and Hamburg (EDDH) with this beatiful "Christmas plane".
As you can see at the end of the video, next year we will have a TRIPLE reason to fly ;-)
I would like to wish all of you who shared with me this year, a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
May we all have clear skies in our lives in the coming year.

Let's climb... it's time to land.
No, the sentence isn't wrong.
This is a joke here in Brazil, when we talk about flights to La Paz (SLLP) in Bolivia.
El Alto International Airport is the highest international airport and fifth highest commercial airport in the world, according to Wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_Alto_International_Airport).
Located at 13,325ft (4.061m) AMSL, the airport is a challenge for takeoffs and landings.
Here you can read more about the experience and curiosities of take off and landing at SLLP:

About this flight, probably this is a fictional flight.
First, because I couldn't find any evidence of Aerosur flights between Asunción (SGAS) in Paraguay, to La Paz, in the past.
Second, because flights to La Paz generally have a stopover at Viru Viru International Airport (SLVR) at Santa Cruz de la Sierra, which it wasn't recreated in this flight.
So, this is a Aerosur (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AeroSur) 727-200 flight, between Asunción (SGAS) and La Paz (SLLP).
Let's climb... it's time to land!!

GSX de-icers
Cool new feature of Ground Service X v1.9.
More informations here:
http://www.fsdreamteam.com/forum/index.php/topic,11072.0.html
EDIT: as you can see on the video, I have no "smoke effect" at the wings when de-icing. For some reason, despite the update, GSX "didn't update".
I had to do a complete uninstall and then a full reinstall to make it work. If anyone have this issue, this is the way: uninstall and then download the full installer.
