Central France is a very flat place indeed, and after three hours I was delighted to see the mountains of the south looming ahead. By this time the visibility had reduced to 10 miles or less, and the smell of the Med was in the virtual air. Climbing to 6000' we were treated to some spectacular scenery, and very quickly the Nice vor sprang into life on Mike Lima's panel. The last hour seemed like five minutes, and soon we were in the circuit above the azure blue Cap D'age not really wanting to land! Touching down on runway 5L was so smooth it felt as if Mike Lima and I were working as one, and both relishing the many hours together that lay ahead.
