It’s time for another screenshot challenge! The idea is to collectively explore different parts of the world together - areas that may be very familiar to you or perhaps a new place you have never flown before. Feel free to find others to fly with to capture the challenge, or go solo!
Last week’s winner from Favorite Flier: @BasedRacoon (Twitter)
This Week’s Challenge: Hidden Gems
Is there a specific location in the world you can’t get enough of flying around? Or maybe a specific point of interest that has captured your imagination? Well show it off to us in this week’s Screenshot Challenge.

If you have any screenshot challenge ideas for the future, send @Chewwy94 a DM!

St. Barthelemy approach, first thing in the morning, it adds to the challenge with the sun in your eyes and being reflected in the water as well. Triple whammy!

Sigiriya, in Sri Lanka, is an ancient rock fortress located in the northern Matale District near the town of Dambulla in the Central Province, Sri Lanka. Absolutely magical when viewed at dawn or dusk.

The Great Wall of China is a series of fortifications that were built across the historical northern borders of ancient Chinese states and Imperial China as protection against various nomadic groups from the Eurasian Steppe. Several walls were built from as early as the 7th century BC, with selective stretches later joined by Qin Shi Huang (220–206 BC), the first emperor of China. Little of the Qin wall remains. Later on, many successive dynasties built and maintained multiple stretches of border walls. The best-known sections of the wall were built by the Ming dynasty (1368–1644).

The hidden airstrip of Gospers in Australia. I was introduced to this by my good friend Gunther - an Aussie aviator - who has flown and landed there several times during his training.

Hidden in plain sight. Meigs Field is (was :cry) one of the best airports in the world.
The Richart Structure, proven not to be an interstellar impact, but a localised uplifting of the Earth.
(Perhaps it was where the injection moulding of the planet was finished )
Notre Dame de la Salette in the French Alps, a particularly steep and rewarding one way strip once it’s mastered. (Hint, don’t start there on the runway. Land there from elsewhere!)
There’s so many awesome gems in the Alps and Pyrenees. I’ll add more soon.
Aosta, in the lee of the Matterhorn. Better pic coming soon.
