Towards the F100

Passengers boarding our flight from Oporto (LPPR) to Luxembourg (ELLX).

Scary ND

After taking off from Luxembourg (ELLX) during our climb, we met these two CB's on their mature fase. As you can see on the ND (Navigation Display) our route lies right between them. In this case, we were in visual contact with these two fellows, and the space between them was clear.
