Flight 50 : Banjul, Gambia to Tenerife, Canarias

Date: Monday January 9, 2009
Departure: 14:27 local
Routing: Up the coast to Tarfaya, Morocco, then west
Aircraft: Air Catalonia Q-400
Altitude: 12,000 feet
Miles: 986
Arrival Stats: Nearly 4 hours or nearly 260 mph
Notes: This was a scenic afternoon and evening flight up the western coast of Africa. Off the left wing was noting but open water, off the right wing was nothing but open desert but below were palm-lined beaches ...
After a Moroccan sunset ... I turned west and dialed in the Tenerife South VOR and ILS beam. Weather was, as usual, clear and breezy.
