You will fly near one the highest active volcano in Europe: Etna and cross the sea between the Sicily and the Calabria. The scenery is overall really nice and personally I enjoyed the trip even if it’s not overall complex to do.

Sounds like a very fun adventure!

I just did Milan to Catania and landed at night.

Long story short, I crashed into Mount Etna

Ooo sad story, you was nearly there! I hope your next flight will be less… crashy :wink:

Awesome, I want to try this.

I lived near Brindisi and have only flown a couple of times around Brindisi, Bari and Naples. Great memories of vacationing in Taormina and wanted to try flying around Mount Etna.

It was a great flight, 45 mins in the 172. ATC made me land on RWY29 though. Bit tricky, had to go around, but fun nonetheless.

This looks fun; I’ll try it later, thank you! :small_airplane: :smiley_cat:

(we can put continent tags, now, to help people find pix or flights a little better)

Thanks! That was a nice flight. I’m playing without POIs so I had to do a few flyovers to be able to locate * LIPJ and LIYS. Fun Fun Fun!
