I have no idea where this should be posted so move it if needed Mods.

If you want to have some fun, choose an agile aircraft that you can keep at or below below 160 knots, but above 130.

I do not recommend you try this if you don't have a twist stick or pedals and are using auto rudder.

Depart Spangdahlem AB Germany and fly SSE to Schweich. Drop down over the Moselle River heading north. Try to stay around 100' AGL and 140-150 knots.

Follow the river all the way to Koblenz where it enters the Rhine. There are only one or two bridges high enough to fly under so beware. Also, at that altitude and speed, in those curves,

you will be on top of one before you know it. Try to keep out of the trees, houses, and water and off the cliff. Roll Eyes

Go to Google Maps, type in Schweich, Germany. Move the map until Schweich is in the lower left hand corner and zoom in or out until you can see Bremm. This should give you an idea of your route.

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

Sounds like fun. Now try the same thing with a faster aircraft in the Grand Canyon. Cheesy

Been there, done that. Yawn. Grin

Somewhere in the last year, there is a thread where I posted pics of the Canyon run.

Found it.

Germany is more difficult, even at low speed. Trust me. Roll Eyes
