Shalom and greetings all my pals,

Passing city of Saint-Malo/Saint-Servan off the right wing and town of Dinard seen off the left engine while you can see the same highway number D168 behind the tail of the plane showing you the bridge connecting between the city and the town. The famous transatlantic single-handed yacht race Route du Rhum which takes place every 4 years in Novembers is between Saint Malo and Point à Pitre in Guadeloupe.



leaving France to cross English Channel heading to waypoint SKESO



Passing island of Jersey where you can see runway of EGJJ Jersey International airport

Cruising across English Channel intercepting SKESO and heading to BHD

On final runway approach to runway 28 past background view of town of Donaghmede



Seconds before touchdown



Okay few more seconds with nice background view of Dublin airport



Few more seconds please while you can marvel view of the airport in background



Very smoky TOUCHDOWN



Front landing gear gliding down slowly while rear landing gear is still producing exciting long stream of tire smokes



Front wheels making runway contact spewing more tire smoke



Exiting from runway 28 into taxiway E6



Holding position on taxiway E6 while Vatsim controllers of Dublin airport particularly EIDW TWR and EIDW GND are screaming to me the words  Get out of runway now get out of runway now while I was trying to tell EIDW GND I am actually on taxiway E6 awaiting for EIDW GND to issue me clearance to taxi to gate seconds after I request for such clearance while properly informing EIDW GND I have finished exiting from runway 28 and I am now at E6.  I am guessing there is something wrong with their Vatsim radars or their radars cannot read my payware Aerosoft MegaDublin. I have no idea why they think I am on runway 28 when I am actually on taxiway E6.   
 


Taxiing to gate 203



Now on passenger apron manuevering to approach gate 203



Arriving at gate 203
