I thought I might try out the Pitts Special S2 aerobatic biplane. Couldn't get it to fly. Can't think why,,,🤔 #MSFS2024 #Flightsim #Aviation #AVGeek

Back in Columbia we fly north, still in the Fokker F27, from Manziales to the coast & Santa Marta, landing at Simon Bolivar airport. Despite all I've read/seen about tips for landing the F27, it's not easy managing the power smoothly- it seems ultra sensitive. #MSFS2024 #Flightsim #Aviation #AVGeek

(1/3) Today saw the last of nine commemorative flights to mark the 90th anniversary of the first Spitfire flight. Today's route was from Exeter to Southampton where that 1936 test flight took place. www.raf.mod.uk/news/article... #MSFS2024 #Flightsim #Aviation #AVGeek

Our next destination, north from Antonio Narino to Manziales, the coffee capital of Columbia (according to our SayIntentions flight attendant),La Nubia airport has a challenging, short runway, so the F27 seemed like a good choice- & it was, landing power apart! #MSFS2024 #Flightsim #Aviation #AVGeek

Enjoy the approach and landing in this video! youtu.be/oyRh4efqZbM #MSFS2024 #Flightsim #AViation #AVGeek #Columbia #Avianca

Antonio Narino Airport sits on top of a high plateau surrounded by hills and deep valleys and, although we didn't get to try the spectacular "circle-to-land" approach, it was nonetheless a very scenic arrival! #MSFS2024 #Flightsim #Aviation #AVGeek

From Bogota, we transfer into an Avianca A319 for a real world sector to the hills of Southern Columbia near Pasto. #MSFS2024 #Flightsim #Aviation #AVGeek

Fortunately GPWS and terrain radar saved the day! IFR conditions, high altitude airport, & my first flight in Columbia all added to the challenge! #MSFS2024 #Flightsim #Aviation #AVGeek

Some days ago, we explored the ABC islands in the Caribbean. We fly south from Curacao to Bogota with LATAM Columbia, but SayIntentions AI had a nightmare and tried hard to crash us (3 times) into the Columbian mountains! #MSFS2024 #Flightsim #Aviation #AVGeek

Japan Bush trip #11: The Mountains of Chubu Today we hop in the Kodiak 100, head inland and make our way north through the mountains and valleys of Fukui Prefecture on our way to the thumb-shaped Noto Peninsula. #MSFS2024 #Flightsim #Aviation #AVGeek

High time for some top-class BizJet ops, so taking the wonderful Citation X from Glasgow down to the Mediterranean at Cannes. Assigned the Circle to Land approach which the C750 flew like a dream! #MSFS2024 #Flightsim #Aviation #AVGeek

Freight Ops for Fedex in the Boeing 777F, from Mumbai to Hong Kong. #MSFS2024 #Flightsim #Aviation #AVGeek

(2/2)... The Hungarian Parliament Building, on the banks of one of Europe's great rivers, the Danube, certainly rivals the Palace of Westminster for magnificence, and crossing the Danube nearby is a bridge modelled on a smaller twin in Marlow, Buckinghamshire #MSFS2024 #Flightsim #Aviation #AVGeek

This BA A320 flight from Heathrow to Budapest is one that I can claim to have made in real life, c.10 years ago. It's probably operating this week with several political journalists on board, heading to report on the aftermath of the Hungarian election... (1/2) #MSFS2024 #Flightsim #Aviation #AVGeek

Ryanair from Liverpool to Malta. #MSFS2024 #Flightsim #Aviation #AVGeek

Into a Cessna C206 StationAir at Traverse City for some VFR cargo deliveries to the Fox Islands in Lake Michigan. #MSFS2024 #FlightSim #Aviation #AVGeek

Trying out the latest experimental build of the FSS eJet E175 on an AA sector, Chicago O'Hare- Traverse City, Northern Michigan (a very #Buttigieg route). Some strange FMC behaviour on climbout, but all settled by cruise & the approach/landing was very smooth. #MSFS2024 #FlightSim #Aviation #AVGeek

Having flown the Tiger Moth & Curtis Jenny recently, I'm up for trying other vintage craft. Here's the freeware Fokker DR-1 Triplane (GotFriends) www.got-friends.com/products/fok... as flown by the Red Baron; circuit from Old Warden (Shuttleworth Collection) #MSFS2024 #FlightSim #Aviation #AVGeek

Transavia A321 (ToLiss, #XP12) flight from Monastir, Tunisia, to Paris Orly. #Flightsim #Aviation #AVGeek There was an interesting discussion on a live stream about XP12 v #MSFS2024 about which is best. Personally, I think both have pros & cons, but the XP12 weather & skies IMHO take some beating!

A real world sector of Aer Lingus between Seville, Andalucia, Spain, and Dublin, Republic of Ireland, in the Fenix A320. #MSFS2024 #Flightsim #Aviation #AVGeek

Final leg of the SE England GA pergrination sees us adding a second engine & taking the Cessna 414 AW Chancellor from Fairoaks to Turweston in Buckinghamshire (near Silverstone motor racing circuit), via Blackbushe.. We leave the M25 path to follow the M40. #MSFS2024 #Flightsim #Aviation #AVGeek

Back to the GA perambulation around the M25 corridor, and into the great little WBSim mod of the C152. From Stow Maries to Fairoaks via Elstree and Denham. #MSFS2024 #Flightsim #Aviation #AVGeek First leg from Stow Maries Great War Aerodrome to Elstree...

I haven't flown the Curtis Jenny in #MSFS2024 before, so a short flight from Earls Colne to the Stow Maries Great War Aerodrome in Essex seemed like a good idea. What a wonderful sight, and fun to fly too! #Flightsim #Aviation #AVGeek

Meanwhile, back in Essex... Diamond DA50 from North Weald to Earls Colne via Andrewsfield #MSFS2024 #Flightsim #Aviation #AVGeek

This is also, I *think*, more realistic for this Islander livery, flying between Barbados and St Vincent. #MSFS2024 #Flightsim #Aviation #AVGeek

Back to BN Islander hops in the Caribbean, this being, I think, a real world livery and route for Cape Air between Cyril E King Airport on the British Virgin Islands to St Kitts. #MSFS2024 #Flightsim #Aviation #AVGeek

Retro Kenya Airways Ops with the Fokker F27, flying between Mombasa & Kilimanjaro. The mountain was unfortunately shrouded in cloud. The F27 is proving enjoyable to fly, with enough help/simplification to allow someone unfamiliar with it to get it from A to B. #MSFS2024 #Flightsim #Aviation #AVGeek

Vueling have a new special livery marking the 2026 #TourdeFrance Grand Depart from Barcelona, from where we see it departing on a flight west across northern Spain to Santiago de Compostella. #MSFS2024 #Flightsim #Aviation #AVGeek

From Damyns Hall, we transfer to something special, a Tiger Moth- a rare sighting of a brace of this DH vintage craft. First to Thurrock, and then on to North Weald. So many historic airfields in this M25 corridor. #MSFS2024 #Flightsim #Aviation #AVGeek

#XP12 for this LuxAir Dash8 Q400 flight from Luxembourg City to London City on the easterly arrival. Some brooding weather too. The default EGLC scenery is less than accurate, including the parking stand angle, but no big deal- the Q400 is always a pleasure to fly. #Flightsim #Aviation #AVGeek

The Diamond DA42 takes over to fly from Redhill around the M25 Anti-Clockwise over the Thames at the Dartford Crossing as far as Damyns Hall airfield. #MSFS2024 #Flightsim #Aviation #AVGeek

Good VFR conditions in the UK recently, so some GA flying coming up! Here, the PA 28 Warrior II flies from Popham in Hampshire to Redhill in Surrey. #MSFS2024 #Flightsim #Aviation #AVGeek

The Britten Norman Islander is well utilised in the Caribbean. This flight is from Grande Case, St Martin (the French half of the island that is shared with the Dutch as St Maarten) to the French island of St Barts with its celebrated airport. #MSFS2024 #Flightsim #Aviation #AVGeek

Onwards from Stuttgart to nearby airfield Pattonville, part of a former US military airfield and housing installation, in the PA Warrior II #MSFS2024 #Flightsim #Aviation #AVGeek

Eurowings A320 from Nice to Stuttgart. #MSFS2024 #Flightsim #Aviation #AVGeek

To the Dutch Caribbean & the BN Istander traveling in the "Alphabet Islands"- ABC, Aruba, Bonaire, and Curacao. First from A to B (eastbound, the longest leg). This livery flies in a different part of the region, so not fully authentic! #MSFS2024 #Flightsim #Aviation #AVGeek

I realised I needed more A350 practice, so this flight from Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam fulfils exactly that aim, with the added bonuses of both the Cathay Pacific retro livery and a dusk landing into Hong Kong. #MSFS2024 #Flightsim #Aviation #AVGeek #1 of 3...

A Scandinavian flight in an SAS A320 from Copenhagen to Bergen. According to #MSFS2024, much of SW Norway is still a winter wonderland- not sure how accurate that is! #FlightSim #Aviation #AVGeek

#MSFS2024 isn't just about flying... youtu.be/md2jBKbR-x8?... #Maritime #Cruise #Atlantic #Liner #Ship #Transatlantic #Flightsim

For Easter Sunday, after last year's 777 flight to Easter Island in the Pacific, this year it's high time to explore that island with the help of Asobo's Oceania update and some other freeware addons with the remarkable statues around the Island. #MSFS2024 #FlightSim #Aviation #AVGeek

Singapore Airlines' A350-900ULR is a remarkable configuration, with 67 Business class and 94 Premium Economy seats, 161 in total, 19 fewer than an EasyJet 180 seat A320! We fly it from Kuala Lumpar, Malaysia, to Singapore. #MSFS2024 #FlightSim #Aviation #AVGeek

Watching a YT stream reviewing the new iniBuilds Liverpool scenery, I decided to follow along and go VFR in the COWS Diamond DA42. I've got the Digital Designs EGGP and will be sticking with that; the DA42 is shown as one of the twin trainers on the GA apron. #MSFS2024 #Flightsim #Aviation #AVGeek

One of the Gipps GA8 Aerovans in Europe is operated by Dutch charity Stichting Hoogvliegers who provide adventure flights for children with illnesses or disabilities. Here we return to Lelystad to visit the Aviodrome aviation museum, flying from Breda (Seppe). #MSFS2024 #Flightsim #Aviation #AVGeek

This Reims-Cessna 406 Caravan II is based at East Midlands for survey and surveillance work, and is seen here on a flight up to Durham-Tees Valley. #MSFS2024 #FlightSim #Aviation #AVGeek

Trying out the amphibious version of the Kodiak,across the great Lakes of northern Italy, flying from Lake Garda via Lake Como to Lake Maggiore. Water landings can be very satisfying! #MSFS2024 #FlightSim #Aviation #AVGeek

Short hop in the Eurowings A321 (ToLiss, #XP12) from Dusseldorf to Stuttgart (with Karl-Heinz and Ingrid as passengers on their return leg? See www.youtube.com/watch?v=VAPW... for the reference!) #FlightSim #Aviation #AVGeek

It reached my timeline a day late, but I enjoyed this creative use of GSX and the latest airport scenery to create an April 1st #MSFS2024 “software addon” release. youtu.be/VAPWrnGsczc?... #Flightsim #Aviation #AVGeek

A fifth freedom flight by Ethiopean A350 between Bangkok and Hong Kong. I really need to spend more time with the A350 as despite it being an Airbus and the flows being similar across the models, the A350 still doesn't come naturally to me for some reason. #MSFS2024 #FlightSim #Aviation #AVGeek

No sooner have we taken off from Heathrow than we are landing at JFK in New York City. #Legend #MSFS2024 #Flightsim #Aviation #AVGeek #Concorde

...but with #MSFS2024 it can take flight again. (And great to hear another Heathrow legend will soon be back in his rightful place too...) #Aviation #AVGeek #Flightsim #Concorde
