Just try the Niagra Falls demo flight. Follow the river and you'll know when you're near it. Then pull up your map. I think there's an airport called Niagra Falls Airport.

Erieplane,

If you are in FS2004, make sure that your scenery settings are totally maxed out for at least a couple of passes....even if the frame rates suffer a bit. There is some good animations and scenery there to look at Wink

.

best,

Nearest Airports are Lester B Pearson Airport (YYZ) and Niagera falls airport. Check Map Quest.com to find the best route.

If you're trying to fly there in real life, your best bet is either Toronto or Buffalo. It's relatively easy to get to. If this is a real world trip, lemme know where you're trying to get there from and I'll see what I can figure out for ya. I live about 6 hours away.

Great edit, Bob.&&&&&&Google it. &&&&www.google.com

What a shame .........I used to live 90 mins away ten yrs ago, and back in the mid 80s, I had a 5-6 month stint of driving one or two times a week to the Niagara Falls Convention Center (NY) after work, to do some indoor flying......pick up the QEW from Toronto, westbound and dont get off till you see the signs for the Falls....

This was the first place I showed off to Wendy when she came to visit me for the first time..........My joy was watching her eyes as she caught her first glimpse .....

Thanks for the info. It was for a Geography project. I was the only one in the class who done it right in the end and I got a merit point off the teacher (Biggest school achievement so far this year. She's the strictest in the school)

Would that be related to the well-known drug Viagra Foz? Roll Eyes
