What coordinates do i enter to load a flight there. I tried copying and pasting from Google but the sim wont accept them. Or where on the world map should i start from thats close to the crater.
Moved to #flying:world-discovery
Launch out of Winslow Lindbergh Regional (KINW) and head directly West (270 Magnetic Compass Heading). You can’t miss it.
Start from Winslow Arizona and go west 17 miles
Or goes from Flagstaff, course 091 ° (VOR-DMR 113.85 FLG) for 33Nm.
The Meteor Crater is a famous film location. Like for example the ending of the movie Starman (1984).
Very cool geography! How wide is the crater in real life?
It’s about one statute mile wide and 570 feet deep. I hiked around the perimeter of it when I was a kid, but nowadays you’re only allowed to walk around a small section of it.
Here’s a picture I took of it in 2019:
Winslow AZ is east and slightly north of Meteor Crater.
Wide enough you could fly inside it but I think there’s some wreckage in the area from someone who tried.
You can do it in the sim easily enough.
Very impressive! So neat to visit places in the sim that you experienced in real life!
Thanks, i found KINW on the map then looked over to the East and saw the crater. I started my flight at that point.
