After all, I had virtual companionship and imagined there was something like Brazilian temperament On Saturday, on one of those flights to or from Rio de Janeiro, I spotted this ornate building Then, Sunday morning at a rather deserted airfield ... ... my euphoria did not last long, because I crashed without knowing why, and an emergency landing also ended in disaster I thought it had something to do with the "KingAir C90B JongePionier" with winglets, and switched to the original Laminar C90 that started quite well but I had the same problem a few more times, and got more and more behind in arriving on time in Rio i thought i had learned something and tried again with the JongePionier Here you can see how it happens again: the fuel no longer flows at least the emergency landing worked this time but nevertheless I was at the end of my nerve, and changed to a sympathetic, straightforward 6-seater Twinjet to counter directly @CHASMAN2014 Jetting around the Sugarloaf with the EclipseNG was a lot of fun  I did not have only 1 Jesus. All good things come in threes! is that the Copa Cabana? and that the Maracana? The Bridge Challenge worked this time that is @Kumiankka in his ultra ultra light, apparently he is being run over right now waiting for line up behind @ostkamp good bye, Rio Edited April 26, 2022 by rajo 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
172MC Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 I used a Cessna Skyhawk to visit all 4 airports in the Rio area with suggested scenery and do some sightseeing around the city to enjoy the great views. Started at Afonsos then headed to Jacarepaguá The airport scenery is very attractive On to Santos-Dumont and back in the air for touring around Rio Spotting @rajoon final Since this is a flight simulator, I thought it important to insert a picture of my plane here overflying Galeão and back to Santos-Dumont I will not be able to be at the next Fly-in as I am traveling but hope to join you all the week after. All the best!   8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacaré means "Gator" , and this drawing is a reference to the Jacarepaguá racing circuit where the F1 Brazil GP took place between 1978 to 1989.

ghun1 Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 wow excellent pireps everyone. Thank you all for the nice wishes, much appreciated. As it turned out the sea view from our seats by the window in the restaurant (Tarragon if you want to look it up) gave us a great view of the powerboat racing we had known nothing about! I think Kumi's flare dump could be a tribute to sugar loaf mountain as it looks the right shape. I see I am going to have to get this phenom thingy as everyone seems to be saying how good it is. And the flood light concrete supports for the airport look rather daunting - I would not want to taxi into one of those. see you for the next fly in Gary  6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F5Chaser Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Late PIREP for me this week. It is fun reading all of your PIREPs touring Rio! I began my flight in Curitiba (SBCT) with the ZIBO 737. The fog was so thick I could not see the taxiway from the gate. After carefully taxiing to runway 15 and backtracking to line up after @MerlinEng departed, I lifted off into the cloud. The skies cleared up above 8,000 if I recall correctly and the rest of the flight was smooth sailing. I made my approach to runway 28 at Galeão, trying to keep the frame rate up with the heavy scenery. Sugarloaf mountain faintly visible in the distance of the first picture. @CHASMAN2014 landed moments after I cleared the runway and we both taxied back to the terminal, crossing over the taxiway bridges which divide the airport. We all parked together at the outer-facing gates to watch others arrive. @gp4tom landing in the photo above. Unfortunately I did not have enough time to tour the area this week, so I called it a day here, but I will definitely have to return in the future. The GlobalArt scenery is amazingly detailed! See you next week! 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skylark2992 Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Great PIREPs everybody! Ironic @Quintao that you flew the 'Whisperjet' into one of the loudest parties on Earth, haha! Great screenshots. @Vega66 I like your dignified post after your runway over-run/excursion. Kinda ironic again that your aircraft became a different kind of 'float' for the carnival. Great screenshots @rajo of the three Jesuses - one for each landing maybe?

You all found some interesting places along the way - thanks for another vicarious thrill. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
