About the event
The “Rust Belt” is a region covering several states in the northern midwest of the US once dominated by industrial manufacturing that went into decline. It got its name due to all of the abandoned factories and steel mills that became rusty from disuse. Our flight will visit seven major cities throughout the heart of the Rust Belt, presenting the opportunity to fine tune landing skills to please your passengers, and even point out a few notable landmarks along the way.
Feel free to arrive early and practice your cold start and FMC skills, or just fly VFR like me and follow the magenta line. I’ve added waypoints prior to each landing to help get you lined up with the runway, and will be feeding you headings for each leg.
Wheels up at 20:00 UTC. Flight time should be about 3 hours with a 10-minute break at KIND (Indianapolis). And as always with Flight Sim Break: Join when you can, leave when you must!
