GMFO - Oujda, Morocco

World Heritage Sites Air Adventure: Out of Africa
Flight 11 – 10/27/2024

Last night, I was determined—maybe a bit too determined—to make the transit into Morocco. In hindsight, flying through rain in an open cockpit wasn’t my brightest idea. The weather turned rough, and I got a crash course in atmospheric instrument flying as clouds rolled in and I couldn’t climb above them. Some scud running was required, but I pressed on.

I finally touched down at GMFO (Angads International Airport, Oujda, Morocco) well after sunset, soaked and exhausted. The best surprise awaited me in the morning: during my aircraft inspection and maintenance, I discovered a special delivery from Hawaiian Airlines—green tea, Snickers bars, and even packages of poi and lau lau! It was the perfect taste of home after a challenging night.

Starting here in Morocco, I’ll be using Ortho4XP scenery for World Heritage Sites and airports. Matching up the ForeFlight map with Ortho4XP imagery is a total game changer—can’t wait to see what’s next!Read more
