For those using Navigraph charts/real AIRAC, both GMMC and GMFM are defunct so use CBA (ANFA) DME and MKS (MEKNES) VOR instead respectively.

My Navigraph plan (avoiding prohibited zones): GMME DCT 340229N0065012W DCT 335746N0070707W DCT 333644N0074005W DCT CBA DCT 333654N0070651W DCT 333643N0064121W DCT MKS DCT GMFF

Last week’s flight Homerun795429 pointed to a nice scenery of GMME Rabat Salé, which today will be our departure airport:

As usual, a fun community flight! Had a lovely sunset along the Moroccan coastline.

Great event as always! I used real time (but not live weather) so I had a nice sunset which gave the clouds and terrain nice colors. :sunrise:
