• HECA - Cairo, Egypt

    December 26, 2024 in Egypt ⋅ ☁️ 61 °F

    I was a little concerned rolling out of Ben Gurion LLBG and into Cairo (HECA), but since I didn't set-up any AI traffic, I wasn't escorted or SAMd by anyone in the area. I did cross into Egypt at 10K just so EVERYONE could see me, but the headwinds were 29kt so I eventually dropped down into a 3kt headwind. I checked out the start of the Suez Canal and noticed MIL bases that I didn't risk landing at. The weather was great and the ortho tiles are stunning and I had a nice landing WAAAAYY out on 23L which was a cross-country trek by taxi way to my assigned parking. The airport IS nice thanks to @Mastafa Hariday.Read more
