I’m not sure where it is, I read about it back in the 80’s or thereabouts. I remember it’s in Canada and I believe it’s called the “Sudbury Astroblem” - but short of doing a web search, (hint!), that’s all I remember
Couldn’t find it, that’s why I asked you.

Interception practice.

First entry when doing a duckduckgo search:
Looking at the tear-drop shape of the crater, the asteroid must have been both humongous, traveling at a tremendous rate of speed, and traveling at a relatively shallow angle on impact. (It scrubbed an approach, tried to do a go-around, but didn’t pull up in time )

Thank you, sir. I am indebted, and humbled.

It is not one lake or crater, it’s the entire basin. That’s why it doesn’t look like a crater.

Also because it’s ancient by comparison to other impact sites. I read an article on craters back around that same time and it mentioned that the entire Chesapeake Bay region is actually the remnants of a GIGANTIC, (as in “extinction event” sized), impact crater formed zillions of years ago.
You’d never know if you didn’t look at it from space, and have a good imagination.
Found some huge volcanic craters…
Kelimutu Volcano, Indonesia - it forms two lakes the colour of which is different from the other.
Taal Volcano inside Taal Lake, Philippines - a lake within a lake and a crater within a crater
Mt Pinatubu, Philippines
Mt Batur, Bali, Indonesia
Mt Beratan & Danau (Lake) Beratan, Bali, Indonesia

You are right. There are many more such craters but they don’t appear as craters. Either there are cities within them or fields today, or just forest. Hence, they do not appear as craters as we form a typical image in mind.

I’ve been flying around using my new Turtle Beach Velocity One Flightstick that my son gave me for Christmas. I’m enjoying it, especially the trim wheel! Flying toward Portland (PDX) in the rain, I finally earned my Hydroplaning achievement.

You are right. Sorry about that. However, it was related to a post.

I was merely trying to suggest other interesting craters to explore.
Initially when I first saw the Cirrus Vision Jet I didn’t think much of, all performance characteristics were way below my beloved Albatros, but seeing other people’s screenshots the cockpit grabbed my imagination so I checked out some MSFS and IRL videos and fell in love with it.
After having purchased it I was wondering where to do my maiden flight with it, then I looked up and Cirrus manufactues its aircraft in Duluth, so I went for KDLH and flew it.
It most definitely will not replace the L39C Albatros, other than both being small jets they are in a completely different ball park, but I just love its systems and great visibility. I am going to fly this frequently, so as it is said “this might be the beginning of a beautiful friendship”

Maybe it’s the 4k resolution then. I looked up the rest and “Ultra” on clouds is about the only thing that changes clouds at all…
I really need to find out what kind of computers you all run haha. The guy who did the Lukla landing video has amazing graphics.
