Bournemouth (EGHH) to Norwich (EGSH). Nice early morning flight along the South coast, over Heathrow then past Milndenhall & Lakenheath airbases to a nice visual into Norwich in the FSR500.

Spent the afternoon flying in and out of Candonian Lodge, a bush strip in Oregon. It’s third-party scenery by TokenB, and I think it’s rather good:
But it’s not just the bush strip itself. As estate agents say, location, location, location. That,s Mount Hood in the distance…
… and that’s Mount Hood a bit closer…
… and, of course, other mountains are available…
I found the strip to be great fun, but it’s not without its flaws.
It’s on a lake (The Lost Lake, it’s called, a resort location where presumably the Lost Boys go on their holidays) and there is a water runway, but it renders* as a second land runway, and if you spawn in on the hot starts, you end up back on the actual land runway. But you can spawn in cold and dark on the lake on the runway’s parking spots, so that’s good.
Also, I’d like to have seen a proper slipway between land and lake. I did manage to get ashore, but it was a bumpy business.
But what if the bush strip doesn’t actually have a slipway? Well, there’s the third thing, It doesn’t have a slipway because it doesn’t really have anything - it’s entirely fictional (well, not entirely, the Lost Lake is real).
I’m not mad keen on having fictional airfields in my inventory, but I’m not dogmatic about it: I’ve got a couple of helicopter training airfields, and a third-party non-existent airstrip in the far north-west of Scotland in lieu of two helipads which should be there and aren’t.
So, since I enjoyed this one a good deal, I’ll probably keep it.
*I should have added, in the World Map.

Not sure where to fly, but with today’s update I decided to do the Vegas Strip
I think it’s cool that the sphere is animated, plus the water sprouts too (sorry if it has a name). I think it would be cool if they animated the Niagara Falls, but at the same time I know that would take a lot of data.
Not the first time I flew the strip, I remember doing it last year on Sept 7th in the Volocopter and landing at Flamingo and Koval … IYKYK

Pee-Wee says: I hopped into my favorite Jack Tar Phantom and burned the sagebrush around southern California before finding my way to “Star Wars Canyon” near Death Valley. You can read about it at our Pee-Wee and Nag’s Skytours (and Other Thoughts) thread.
Be still me beating heart!
I wonder what the name of that red hill is?
You’re welcome, Los Angeles.
No need to ask directions. I’ve gotchya!
Who needs R2?
Dropping in like Tony Hawk.
Transonic over the Valley of Death.

Quick, late afternoon hop from Long Beach to Ramona. That hazy low cloudiness mixed with the setting sun made it hard to see the runway at Ramona, and I did not tell BATC that I had the runway in sight. So, BATC made me go around and vectored me for a second go. It was cool, but the second time, even though I could not see the runway, I said I did, and I was vectored all the way down. Was very pleased, and was even welcomed to Ramona… Truth be known, I benefitted from that go around, go the bearings for a good approach. Ramona is surrounded by hills, hills, hills…

Loving the microlight there…which one is it?
Went on with my “let’s-see-where-we-end-up” journey in the Vision Jet from Skopje (LWSK) to Burgas (LBBG) in VR using BeyondATC:
I decided not to record the whole flight, but the final approach and landing was captured still:

Yesterday: VFR from Monterey, CA to Sacramento, CA in the Hype Performance Group H160 helicopter. Super high tech avionics (autopilot including auto hover and departure, synthentic vision, multiple map modes, and the PMS GTN750), a fast 150 knot cruise, and a cloudless blue sky on the route.
Today: Nothing yet, but I know I’ll be in the new Taog Huey, maybe exploring the San Fran area with Flightbeam’s new KSFO, as long as the ocean fog isn’t ruining VFR conditions.
