Japan National Stadium

a portion of the Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden

Shinjuku Station surrounded by skyscrapers, including the oddly-shaped Tokyo Mode Gakuen, containing several higher level educational institutions

Coming around Toshima City

Have turned west to follow I-90 towards the Cascades. Mt Rainier looms on the horizon while off to the left is a less conspicuous Mt Adams

One final pass over Sandusky and a last glance towards Cedar Point amusement park, home to some of the world's most famous roller coasters

Andrew cuts across in sight as we both bank to turn northeast

Taking one last scan across the sky for traffic before entering the pattern at KWWD

Circled around Mount Talinis, looking back towards Dumaguete and the airport

Over the largest island of French Polynesia, Tahiti - with the largest mountain in the region: Mount 'Orohena

Headed inland

Massive interchange on the outskirts of Sendai

Short final to a short runway! 60kts is the minimum normal recommended landing speed but I'm going to want to slow even further - cut throttle!

Checking out the peak of Mount Iwaki - which isn't supposed to have trees all the way up to the top but also isn't snow-capped year round

Downtown Takamatsu

Just some cool contours and colors

Hello there pilot! Well met

Sumburgh Airport, the main aerial gateway to the Shetlands

Downtown Nagano and the rail station, with the Hokuto Culture Hall behind my tail

Descending below the clouds as I approach the Dry Tortugas

Jacksonville Beach

Headed inland at Jupiter Inlet to begin working around the Miami airspace

Exiting the Bravo airspace with haste, that is the South Cement Plant which means I'm under a 3,000' floor now

Short final for Key West Int'l - I have drawn a line where the nose of the aircraft is actually pointed so you can see how sideways I am crabbing in against a 14kt crosswind

Stormy skies around Manaus, but the weather seems to be ringing the city, leaving the airport dry

Approach into the wooded grass strip of Örestens Flygfält - unfortunately I forgot to record my landing so was not able to recreate it afterwards

Andrew still way off to my left as we begin a short pass through Indiana, near the southern end of the Lake, flying over Michigan City

Finland doesn't have great Bing satellite coverage

With over 100nm until my final destination I decided to head all the way up to 18,500' to get the best views and also take advantage of a nice 24kt tail wind

Iffy skies over Komatsu Airport that looks like weather could be going bad or good - forecast says good tho so time to climb aboard

Water from the Bandak lake flows into the Kviteseidvatn lake as the green continues to dominate the landscape

Lake Nojiri

The Miyama Dam is one of many in the mountains to capture meltwater and use it for irrigation and power production

My attempt to tell the autopilot to descend met with a similar fate to the ascent attempt, except this was more dangerous because of the potential for over speed!

What looks like a major landslide on the flank of Komanakosan

Looking north of Mount Chōkai towards Yurihonjo

Coming around to head out over the bay itself and intercept the radial

Looking out over the more rural outskirts of Kurihara city

Passing over the Ōu Mountains, looking across the valley towards the Asahi Mountains

Back over the Yell Sound and climbing for a better look at the Mainland

Approaching the Mashike Mountains and considering how I want to do this. If the clouds are right on the other side, then I should go low and around to the right rather than straight ahead and over. The gap between the clouds and ground to the right however tell me they are farther away than they look

Mount Kamuiekuuchikaushi rises ahead as I turn to follow the Hidaka Mountains to the north

As I descended towards Iwaonai Lake I could make out that the mountains I would be flying over up ahead were below the clouds so continued to descend beneath them

Coming around at the end of the runway, gawking at the beach goers

Passing inactive runway at Adelaide Airport

Juuuust made it, as the sun cracks over the horizon. Though if we had arrived later this airport would have accomodated night time VFR no problem

Coming up through the clouds. No over-torque warnings or ITT warnings as I did a proper job of managing the throttle on this ascent

Some light rain or just low clouds up ahead as we pass Mitchell and look ahead towards our destination just over the horizon

Still climbing out, passing over the Missouri River
