Hi Simmers... ...!
Do you know what...?
One of my greatest joys is to get out my 1:700 000 map of California, decide where I want to go today, (as Uncle Bill says), log-on to a site of the local area to get all the maps and details of the area, fire up FS 2004 and fly around to view the area!
Today I have dropped off at Santa Barbara, (KSBA), logged onto their Web site, got some details of the local vinyards, looked at the local map, flown over to the vinyards and picked up a few? bottles of California's finest...
...then on to Santa Monica, (KSMO), just up the coast, done the same thing again, and picked up a few pummets of their very best mushrooms...!
Up to Watsonville, (KWVI),  to visit the locals, contacted them on their Web site with some of my details, then off to Half Moon Bay, (KHAF), for a re-fuel and a cup of tea and some bacon sandwiches.
Finally, over the hill to San Francisco International, (KSFO), parked in the hangar, checked and cleaned my plane ready for another exciting flight tomorrow around the Bay area, (Silicon Valley), to visit the inhabitants and get all their news via their Web sites...!
I never cease to be amazed at the detail included in the Pacific coast of Mid/Southern California in FS 2004 in relation to my maps of the same area.
I look at photo's of the area and I reckon Uncle Bill and his programmers have got it just about right...!
I will never be able to visit California, but I am probably more familiar with it now than the locals who actually live there...LOL...!
I can visit the world and get all the information I want for the price of Flight Simulator 2004...!
It's much more than just a flight simulator, it's an education...!
How's that for a bargain..?
LOL...!

Cheers all...

Hi Fozzer. Haven't you got fed up with California yet? Plenty of other places in the world you know. How about a little trip south of the border.

I thought he might be more interested in the Senoritas.

Whatever. I'm sure the old chap won't have any problems getting arrested. He should be a past master at that by now.

I was never quite sure what burritos are anyway. ??? I've heard of the Flying Burrito Brothers. Are they any relation to Foz or would that be the Flying Fozzer Brothers? ???

LOL Meals on Wings.

People in the U.K never heard of burritos? Unless there is an English, English term for it.

Its a bunch of food and condiments rolled up in pita bread and folded inwards on one side (sometimes both).

I sometimes eat cheese-beef burritos. Its grounded beef mixed with melted cheese.



Thats what ranger has to say.
