About Me

My photo
After many years in aviation as a corporate pilot, the Good Lord has guided me on a career path I never saw myself taking. As it was so elegantly put in the movie Top Gun, I now literally find myself "flying a cargo plane full of rubber dog #$@! out of Hong Kong"! Ah, but this is not just any cargo plane...it is currently one of the largest, longest range, most technologically advanced cargo planes in the world...the Boeing 777F!

Back to Sardinia

This time I got you all some aerial photos on the way into Olbia airport on the island of Sardinia, Italy.


The terrain all over Sardinia is quite rugged like this.

That's NOT the Olbia airport at the bottom right...maybe it once was, its just some old abandon airstrip. Panning to the left (& to the next picture) will bring the Olbia airport into view.

Ah, there it is! The port city of Olbia is just to the left (north) of the airport.

This looked like a photo-worthy old castle just to the southwest of the airport.

Nice, France was quite nice!

After spending several days in Nice, it was tough to head south back to Cairo. Nice, with its moderate climate, clean air, green grass, shopping malls & miles of great biking/walking trails along the French Riviera, is in sharp contrast to my current home town of Cairo. Things were way overpriced here, although I was able to finally purchase an iPhone 4 at the same price they sell for in the States :) The climate reminded me a lot of Michigan in September.

We didn’t bother to go see the sites on this visit…just ate lots of great Sushi & spent much time on the bike trail along the coast of the Mediterranean. Here are a few of the pics I did get. Hopefully we can return & see more of this beautiful area.

Sorry I don't have more to show & tell about this great location!
