Hy folks!
(Astonished by this incredible sim and recent helis, and after made some adjustments to leave the most real possible,) I finally started a tour.
DAY 1. So at morning of 28th of january, I went to hangar and … with very difficulty I controlled myself and gave up the idea of rush to Brazil with the F18 nearby. With a clear mind, I ride the Cabri G2 at Brown Field Airport (KSDM) and went to visit San Diego. Along the tourism, I intend to do some air taxi to pay the gas.

Shotly after departure, I turn right at 805 and left at 54 heading to San Diego Bay.
Made a rapid landing and a rapid departure at a very beaty Frigate, as the boys were shouting and clearly showed no manners.

Then continued to fly around the Bay.
And land at Tuna Harbor Park, beside some parked cars and fleeing people. I wanted to go to the bar that Maverick sang Great Balls of Fire to do the same!

At this time, after 2 hours of screaming, I realized that the injured frigate sailor that got hooked at my skids needed assistance BEFORE my tour and headed direct to Balboa Naval Medical Center. It has a great helipad, a little bit stressing by Boeing’s passing 300’ above.
At the place I visited Balboa Park, Air & Space and Natural History Museum, Fleet Science and Zoo.
Then I headed shoreline north, lost my pictures of SeaWorld and the lovely Mission bay, over Mission Valley, and went to enlist myself at Miramar.
I dont know what happens to US Army, they’re all very rispid… anyway, had to leave fast and went north.
Actually I had to depart east as I wanted to rest at Gillespie Field, but that was OK, I’ve visited more places. All I had to do was to circumvent 10 NM of Miramar as I am pretty sure they weren’t happy to see me again.
(this photo was taken the next day)

DAY 2. Very early at jan. 29th I continued. Overcasted, but not a problem 
.
I departed north to Los Angeles area via Interstate 15
Pit stop to coffe at Ramona (KRNM). The servant saw my helicopter and begin to call me Pierre. I will repaint it tomorrow.
And finally, Temecula
Some very beautiful reservoirs there, an invitation to a picnic!
Then, heading to French Valley (F70).
At least here, it would be more contextual calling me Pierre.

Cool. Enjoy the tour. Currently, busy with a tour from Austria to Portugal through the Alps in the B407.
The best way to explore is in a helicopter.

And then began the helicopter routes. I took Pomona, Riverside and finally San Bernardino Freeway to land and rest at Ontario International (KONT).

DAY 4. I woke up late this day. It was a great and sunny day in California. A good day to die.
I wanted a challenge: land at Mount San Antonio, or Mount Baldy, a peak close to my overnight airport.
So I departed and turn right heading North.
At the foot of the giant:
Passing the belly
After reaching cable cars, even with correct mixture, the helicopter became very unstable as I was having great difficulty in providing translational lift … and I died in the afternoon of this day.
Six lifes left.
I went south after to visit Chino. Its
male prison. A good number want to send me there, better know it beforehand.
Short flight today. I took 71 to Brackett Field (KPOC).
