Bagolu work-in-progress C172 M
I have been reading 100 UNFORGETTABLE DESTINATIONS by National Geographic. I bookmarked a few of them and decided to fly there.
This one is the Great Blue Hole in Belize. I took out the brilliant I.C.P. Savannah S by @bagolu on its maiden flight in my possession. And it instantly became a memorable one. The aircraft itself is brilliant - a signature piece of work by the maestro @bagolu himself.
The Great Blue Hole is a large marine sinkhole off the coast of Belize. It lies near the center of Lighthouse Reef, a small atoll 70 km (43 mi) from the mainland and Belize City. The hole is circular in shape, 318 m (1,043 ft) across and 124 m (407 ft) deep. It has a surface area of 70,650 square metres (760,500 sq ft). It was formed during several phases of the Quaternary glaciation when sea levels were much lower. Analysis of stalactites found in the Great Blue Hole shows that formation took place 153,000, 66,000, 60,000, and 15,000 years ago. As the ocean began to rise again, the cave was flooded. The Great Blue Hole is part of the larger Belize Barrier Reef Reserve System, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The site was made famous by Jacques Cousteau, who declared it one of the top five scuba diving sites in the world. In 1971, he brought his ship, the Calypso, to the hole to chart its depths.
What did he discover besides the depth?
Sharks hunting. A lot of marine life. But it was much later (1992), when it became a prominent scuba diving destination, that the full scale of the aquatic fauna was discovered and documented.
Thanks for reading, Captain. Always a pleasure to get your attention, sir!

I took out my beloved TBM 930 for this adventure study, flying at 9,000 @ 160 kts.
This one is about the town of Munnar, Kerala, India, which lies in The Western Ghats mountain range. The Western Ghats, also known as the Sahyadri, is a mountain range that stretches 1,600 km (1,000 mi) along the west coast of India. Covering an area of 160,000 km2 (62,000 mi2), it traverses the Indian states of Gujarat, Maharashtra, Goa, Karnataka, Kerala, and Tamil Nadu.
Munnar is a town located in the Idukki district of the southwestern Indian state of Kerala. Munnar is situated at around 1,600 meters (5,200 ft) above mean sea level. This ancient plantation settlement, dominated by its tea industry, is also a growing modern hill station.
The Western Ghats region is a biodiversity hotspot. It consists of nearly 30% of all the species of flora and fauna found in India, most of which are endemic to this region. At least 325 globally threatened species occur in the Western Ghats.
Amazing colors !!
Thank you! Real-weather, real-time.

Is this place easy to find?
Wonderful research, I also love researching what I am flying over. Prior to whats in the news currently, I was enjoying flying over the region from Oman up that coast and inland from it. Wonderful forts and structures have been created there by the older civilisations that resided there. Desert geology is also very interesting.

Took out my favorite Diamond DA62 for this adventure and flew it at 50% throttle, studying the area.
This one is about Chiang Mai province in Northern Thailand. Chiang Mai is the largest province (changwat) of Thailand by area. It lies in upper northern Thailand and has a population of 1.78 million people. It is bordered by Chiang Rai to the northeast, Lampang and Lamphun to the south, Tak to the southwest, Mae Hong Son to the west, and Shan State of Burma to the north. The capital, Chiang Mai, is 685 kilometres (426 mi) north of Bangkok.
Surrounded by the mountain ranges of the Thai highlands, it covers an area of approximately 22,311 km2 (9,000 sq mi). The mountains of the Daen Lao Range (ทิวเขาแดนลาว) at the north end of the province, the Thanon Thong Chai Range (เทือกเขาถนนธงชัย) with the highest mountain in Thailand. Fourteen of the fifteen national parks of region 16 (Chiang Mai) form protected areas in Chiang Mai province. Three of the four wildlife sanctuaries in region 16 (Chiang Mai) form protected areas in Chiang Mai province.
Fortunately, the fuel was enough… 
Yes, sir. First locate it on Google Maps. Then find it on the MSFS World Map.
I’m currently amid a trip around my home country, Canada in the Twin Otter. Started at my home airport CYYC, home of Kenn Borek, and De Haviland Canada (for now). went to Victoria BC, went North from there.
Todays trip started at CYDA Dawson City Airport, with a Touch-n-Go at CYDY Dawson City airport, 339NM away, Weird right? Then carried on to Inuvik CYEV. A bit overcast when I arrived.
Somewhere between Dawson City

Delta ops today
Atlanta (KATL) to Rochester (KROC) in the Fenix a321, flight time was 2 hours and 3 minutes and used the actual aircraft on the actual route today
looks amazing
personally i think the DA62 is the most gorgeous plane in the sim…. these pictures confirming it? Beautiful
i did a huge middle east tour a while back, thankfully before current stuff so could read about the history of some places. amazing places
Yes wonderful region. As a westerner, I for one am horribly ignorant of those parts of the world. Its really interesting.
