Sunday, June 20 MP Flight - The Aïr Mountains of Niger

Post by ratty »

This week we're exploring the Aïr Mountains of northern Niger, a mountainous area in the middle of the Sahara Desert, notable for remarkable ring dikes that enclose circular granite massifs.

From earthobservatory.nasa.gov: "The formation of this range dates back to Precambrian times, the earliest of Earth’s eons. The Aïr Mountains formed when magma flowed into pre-existing cracks and caverns in the bedrock, a geologic formation called a dike. Ring dikes are bubble-shaped mounds that form when the ceiling of a magma chamber collapses, leaving a circular crack that is later filled again with magma. Through time and the constant movement of Earth's crust, such magma intrusions get lifted and moved together to create mountains."

Which aircraft for this one? I'm not sure. GA or T-6s, I guess. The trip is 240 miles, so bring whatever suits.
