this looks great
Rochester (KROC) to Concord Regional (KJQF) in the Asobo ATR 72 600 but an unplanned electrical issue forced me to land at Elmira (KELM) and my panel screens went to the orange crash flight display screens again after another fmc activate failure

Elmira (KELM) to Concord Regional (KJQF) in the PMDG 737 600 and flight time was 1 hour and 30 minutes
Wonderful, long backcountry leg in Siberia last night. Leaving Tomtor just before dawn, I grabbed the Indigirka River and let it slowly wind us through the mountains and out towards the Arctic Sea.
That’s the river glinting just up ahead with the day’s first light.
I’m not normally a morning person, but…
Then things got really interesting. Just before you break out of the mountains the valley narrows up for a spell. Swooping along the river was just incredible. I had the biggest smile all through here.
And we’re through, time to set her down on another inviting patch of snow.
Today I flew the A2A Comanche VFR from Welshpool (Burning blue design) to Le Touquet for a light lunch, using SayIntentions AI for ATC and had a brilliant flight.
Departed Wales, crossed the English countryside and coastline, then continued across the Channel into France.
Used a mix of radio work, visual navigation and traditional flying rather than just following a magenta line. Finished with a nice arrival into Le Touquet, joining left downwind for Runway 13, as adviced by ATC.
No screenshots sadly, but one of those flights that reminds you why this hobby is so good.
In the DC-6, flying east from the coast of Africa through Mauritania.
At Tombouctou (Timbuktu) airport in Mali
Starting up the B-24 at Tessalit (GATS) in the Kidal Region of Mali.
Taking off with full tanks for a seven hour flight to Bengazi on the Mediterranean.
No GPS or VOR. I’ll navigate using the Celestial Navigation app that simulates using a sextant and the sun’s position to find lat and longitude. I’m using it on easy mode: the math for filling out the form is done automatically
Enroute I find I can visually navigation no problem. The occasional water feature like this little lake make it easy to locate myself.
As evening progresses I’ll start using Venus for sighting with the CelNav app.
As I approach the Mediterranean coast there’s more roads and towns to navigate by. But, sad to say less than an hour from Bengazi, just north of Waddan, Libya my flight suddenly ended with a computer crash.

Delta ops today
Rochester (KROC) to Atlanta (KATL) flight time was 2 hours and 5 minutes, they used an a321 irl on that route today but I’d rather fly Boeing ![]()
amazing piloting… tbh I’ve done it myself. Was doing a short hop in the ATR once, Glasgow to Manchester, woke up somwhere over northern France ![]()
