Flight Log – Down and Up the Hudson

October 13th, 2010 · No Comments · Gaming

  So I’ve been spending the majority of my free time these past few weeks designing scenery rather than flying. Although the satellite scenery I’m using for the NJ/NY/MA/RI area is awesome, it’s a bit of a double-edged sword when it comes to airports. See, the default FSX airports are not designed to match the […]

Flight Log – KWRI to KFMH

September 26th, 2010 · No Comments · Gaming

  I decided to go for it and plot a flight up to Massachusetts in the MV-22, there’s a Coast Guard base up there on the Cape that I could justify a military flight to. While it’s listed on the sectional as Cape Cod Coast Guard Air Station (KFMH), it actually services Otis Air National […]

Flight Log – Military Maneuvers 2

September 24th, 2010 · No Comments · Gaming

  It was back in the cockpit of military aircraft today, starting with the AgustaWestland AW101 chopper and then moving back to the MV-22 Osprey. Weather at McGuire AFB (KWRI) wasn’t the best, extremely low ceiling prevented VFR conditions from being in effect, so ATC denied my request to take off without an IFR plan […]

Flight Log – Military Maneuvers

September 23rd, 2010 · No Comments · Gaming

  It was always my plan, once I reached McGuire AFB (KWRI), to hop into the cockpit of the F/A-18 for a joyride, however the other weekend PC Aviator had a 24-hour sale that dropped the price of one of their store items way down – it was the Virtavia MV-22 Osprey, the military version […]

Flight Log – Bumpy Ride

September 21st, 2010 · No Comments · Gaming

  Man, Igor may have missed us, but you could feel his wrath in the air today that’s for sure! Never had to deal with so much damn turbulence while flying – it got to the point of being just plain annoying, especially in the helicopter which is already difficult enough to manage. But I […]

Flight Log – Long Island Loop

September 19th, 2010 · No Comments · Gaming

Wow, awesome flight today! It happened in two parts. First part was lifting off from KMMU to fly into the city. I got lost leaving the airport and couldn’t find Route 10 to take me to Route 280 (Heli chart for reference) so I had to turn around, go back to the airport and upon […]

Flight Log – KBLM to KMMU

September 15th, 2010 · No Comments · Gaming

Such beautiful weather this evening, couldn’t resist seeing the sun setting from the air. I also wanted to take the Jet Ranger into Manhattan tomorrow, so I had to get back to an airport that gave me access to helicopter services. I originally planned to head back to Teterboro (KTEB) but I realized that another […]

Flight Log – Fixed Wing and Rotor Wing

September 14th, 2010 · No Comments · Gaming

So today I decided not to wait for good weather to fly and just go out in whatever conditions presented. Turned out that things were a bit crummy around where I was flying, but not horribly so. I began at Martha’s Vinyard (KMVY), where I last flew this past weekend. Such a beautiful place – […]

Flight Log – KTEB to KMVY

September 12th, 2010 · No Comments · Gaming

Today I took my longest flight yet – almost three hours in the air. I wanted to go to Martha’s Vinyard (KMVY) because it is a destination I’ve flown to many times before in past iterations of Flight Simulator, but I didn’t want to take just a simple direct flight there. I have VFR scenery […]

Flight Log – Midnight Manhattan Shenanigans

September 11th, 2010 · No Comments · Gaming

I decided to take one more flight around Manhattan (for now) – the only problem was that my plans to do so during sunset were ruined when I got called in to coach at the gym, and by the time I was able to fly it was just past midnight. Obviously there are sound abatement […]
