yes they have some limitations for total eclipse and locations of the eclipse but in general, is a wonder to see it in the sky when you flying

Didn’t expect that to be modelled! I wonder if I can go back to it by changing the date :thinking:

You can, but don’t expect to have a darkened sky. Last time I flew on a solar eclipse was on 14 December 2020 over Chile and Argentina. You can see the sun completely blocked by the moon. But there’s no moon’s shadow over the earth, meaning you can still see the earth and the sky as fully bright daylight and not darkened. But the sun itself is completely blocked by the moon.

the moon, sun and earth are all modelled in the sim (ie their positions in the solar system relative to each other) - surely you can change the date and time to find other eclipses? Maybe? Not tried myself - but seems like it could be done to me,
