Holiday Flights - Bangkok - Ko Samui - Phuket

Loaded with weekend-tourists and a brand new airplane (thanks dad!) I left Bangkok around sunset time Sunday evening (local). McDonnell Douglas' DC-10 is a very nice aircraft with incredible performance values. Thanks to the great first-class service on board, delivered by Swissair of course, my passengers were not able to feel the immense ascent rate of almost 7000ft per minute (that's like jumping in two seconds on top of the Eiffel-Tower ;-).
However I had two great flights in a pretty scenery first to Ko Samui (VTSM) and then further on to Phuket. A little cloudy at the end but I was able to sail the plane safely into the airport of Phuket (VTSP). 


First take-off with DC-10. A little shaky, but powerful!
