Coming up on Gosses Bluff Crater, thought to be the eroded remnants of a meteor impact

Approaching downtown Osaka

The peak of the Mount Saint Augustine Volcano

Approaching the Valahnúkamöl rocks and Reykjanes Lighthouse

Passing over the Garden State Parkway and Lakewood Airport

Some snowcapped regions still persisting

A landing light in the distance as a plane heads towards Orcas Island

Banking past the islands on the southwestern rim of the Faadhippolhu Atoll as I turn direct towards the airport

Grótta Island Lighthouse on the east tip of Reyjavik

The aircraft ahead has started to descend, looks like they could be making for Bar Harbor

Making a few changes from last flight. Here is the default out the cockpit view, which is good for seeing the whole windscreen but loses me some instruments in my main cluster

Hustle hustle, want to beat the rain!

Taking in the crazy rich city of Monaco

AP engaged, on course south, climbing for altitude and leaving Monaco behind

Chubu Electric Power Mirai Tower

The island of Elliðaey, with its guest lodge

Looking south to the Mainland

Lined up for a bit of crosswind into Blakely Island. What a hump of a runway!

Shut down at Hida Airpark. Glad all the scattered clouds mainly stayed out of my way and just looked good in the background!

Knarraros Lighthouse

South of Sioux Falls proper, over the suburbs as I begin to work my way back north towards the Interstate

Parked on the tarmac admiring the weather system surrounding us while Andrew rolls out of his landing. Wind was only ~3kts and I made a very soft landing of around 1.1Gs

Still can't help looking around at the storms off in the distance and being thankful they aren't in our way

More of Small Town USA as we cruise past Presho

Breaking back out into the clear, more weather on the horizon but not along our line of travel, still following I-90W

Now you don't

It's starting to look Badland-y out there!

Leaving I-90 behind and working via VOR for the final navigation fix to get to the airport

The main road leading to Badlands National Park

Cruising along the Cheyenne River proper

A great reason for flying later in the day through this region is the terrain relief from the low sun angle

Don't look too closely at this photo of me parked at Fair Isle. I forgot to work out the dual-scenery conflict before loading the flight. Oh well

Initial climb angle was much steeper before I forced the nose back down. Wasn't worried about a stall I just didn't need to climb that fast! Sucker really wanted to zoom up and out!

Flying over Dalupiri Island looking out at Capul Island. Plenty more islands out there but hidden by clouds

Heading into Jotunheimen National Park

The cliffs and stone pillars of Reynisdrangar

Flying over the Reykjavik (Fossvogur) Commonwealth War Graves Cemetery

Passing Rochester, staying further out over the water to remain clear of the Charlie airspace

Dropping in to Dumaguete–Sibulan Airport

Passing over Rt 1 heading for Palm Beach Shores

No problems landing or taking of from Morgan Ranch once we confirm that is where we actually landed. Back to carving through the mountains

Departing Flagstaff Pulliam Airport and heading south for Sedona

God tired of waiting and scooted out before he could get there. Nearly got taken out by a hawk on departure from Friday Harbor

Cruising above the 2,500' airspace over Key West

Rolling out along the runway since the terminal is at the other end

I attempted to set the altitude to 3,500' with the knob but the flight computer seemed to just ignore it. Okay, well I have other issues now anyway with two aircraft headed my way

Good run up checks, lining up for departure - this sock is facing the way windy.com says the wind should be coming from

Probably should have gone under but decided to just go through the gap, which puts me against regulations for horizontal clearance. I won't tell the FAA if you won't

Fortunately I have a good alternate airport ready to go

Looking out down the range of the Chūgoku Mountains to the south
