Just out of curiosity, what are all your favortie palces to fly?

For me they tend to be
Atlanta, Georgia
Seattle, Washington
That strange rock place off Japan in one of those FSX missions
Hawaii
Grand Canyon, Arizona
Alaska

It can be deault, freeware, whatever. If it's a landmark, please give the name of one of the airports.

We often swap around our favourite Servers depending upon who is using them at the time!

Keep a look out on the "FS Host Spy" Server page....>>>

In that regard, i suffer from "the man on a mission syndrome": I fly lisbon-casablanca and back every night (yeah it's a disease) with a connie H, or my "special" version of the electra 10

I have the Lisbon-X scenario, but only the standard Casablanca airport, and it is allways by night, so it is not about the view, it's all about nostalgia. The complete flight it is: Lisbon-Faro-Tangiers-Casablanca and back. Never ceases to amaze me the number of times Casablanca is IFR... (Wait, I think I just saw Ingrid Bergman...)

Usually I will go from Fort Wayne's Smith Field to a surrounding major city. Fort Wayne to Chicago, Fort Wayne to Detroit, Fort Wayne to Cleveland, etc...

I like it better when I actually fly TO a place, then come back...

Typically I am using JustFlight's 'Air Hauler' when I fly so most of my flights originate or from bases in northern Wisconsin (KSUW), northern California (O46), or from Jamaica (MKJP). All three are good but I like flying in the NW United States the best.

Beware of those native Oregano's, Bud!

I am often scared to extend my flight northwards, over the Northern California border, into Oregon.

Lately I've been frequenting the General Mitchell International Airport in Milwaukee, WI. Close to the Lake Michigan shoreline for easy navigation, great for touch-n-go's, and there's a nice scenery pack for it, too. Its 01L/19R runway is 10,690 feet, long enough for the largest planes with heavy cargos like the C-133B Cargomaster and, for the fun of it, the great old Soviet AN-22 Antheus.

For me it has to be the whole of England with the marvellous 'Horizon photo scenery' nearest thing to real flying I think.
Also about to get the new Scotland South.

I only wish there was more of this quality for other countries.

I tend to base all my test flights of new AC out of Seattle as I love thats its the best of everything (IMO). You've got water, a bit of low lands, Mountains,wonderful crappy real world weather at least 5 out of 7 days a week to work your IFR skills. Just yesterday I loaded a new sound file to the default F18 , then loaded a new 2012 Blue Angel 18 from the FSX Blue Angel website for testing. With real world weather in Seattle going. The sound pack test was hard rain and may good visibility at 10 feet off the deck,didn't clear till nearly 12000. The new 18 45 mins later the skies were partly cloudy but plenty of sunshine. I love real world weather Grin

Grin

. I think it would be great if after a good rain the runways would stay wet for awhile afterwards like in real life. Be neat to arrive at a new destination and although missed a storm you knew one had just come through Grin
