Passing over Interstate 95, which runs the length of the east coast

Palm Beach International Raceway

Cruising past the William P Goodwin Airport and looking out over the Pratt & Whitney jet engine testing facilities

Another pumping station marked as a VFR waypoint on the charts, although I wasn't 100% sure that this was it at the time

Upper Matecumbe Key

Orion is out!

Approaching Big Pine Key, getting set to contact Key West tower to get ready for my approach & landing

Taxiing in to parking at Key West Int'l

Watching a big boi fly over - likely inbound to JFK

Heading east as I pass Round Valley Reservoir. Looks like some snow remains in northern Jersey

Look at meeeeee

Crossing over Haverstraw along the Hudson River

Holding short, ready for departure into a nice stiff breeze

Continuing westward past Upper Red Rock Lake

Following the sinewy Red Rock River

Heading south from the Lima Reservoir

Look forward to visiting and camping out here in person one day. What a spectacular landscape

Back below the overcast, which has since closed up behind us, looking back at the convergence of the St. Croix and Mississippi

We have finally circled around to the north of the twin cities, avoiding the international airport, and can approach closer for a fly by of Minneapolis

West of Minneapolis we have the town of Blackstone, following I-394 towards our next waypoint

Still staying low to avoid Bravo airspace, the active approach corridor to KMSP is taking airliner traffic right over our heads

Thought this was a hole in the clouds, but is just the shadow of the cloud!

Closer to the airport now, I've finally found a hole big enough to descend down through from 6,500'

It's really pretty up here with a soft fluffy bed of clouds below, but I can't stay up here forever. Where is a hole??

Actually over the hole it turns out to be a nice big tear that appears to be widening rather than contracting. Down we go!

Stepping on the rudder for some extra slip and drag as I drop at a stomach-lifting speed to make sure I get down through this hole

Approaching Chicago over the southern suburbs, passing over Rainbow Beach

Taxiing to the active runway, pulling off to do our runup checks prior to proceeding to the hold short and requesting takeoff clearance

As usual I stuck to the shoreline while Andrew stuck to heading and stayed further out over the water. We met up again shortly

Descending to 1,200' to enter the VFR flight zone and pass by Detroit, starting at the stacks near the mouth of the Detroit River and heading towards Fermi Lab

FL45 and barely below the clouds at ~FL47. But they are currently so scattered we hold altitude for a good while. We are now north of Detroit still arcing our way around westwards

Looking back east along I-195 you can spot the beacon and airfield of Monmouth Executive

Looking over at Raceway Park, a drag strip and road course that is no longer in operation

Passing over Ft. Delaware on Pea Patch Island

The city of brotherly looooove

Coming up on Stockton, you can see they got a bit too aggressive with the water masking for the canals running along the river - they are not that wide and in fact there are cars driving on the water :P

Trenton - ho! KTTN's beacon also visible further up the river. Andrew is still at least like 15min ahead of me

Sun approaches the horizon to the west and the skies begin to become more favorable

Moar sun glint!!

The river starts to become smaller and more snakey with tributaries coming in and wait am I still actually following the right river?

Okay time to head eastward and try to locate by dead reckoning the airport I want to land at - Andrew already made it by now but he has a GPS in his cockpit. Bonus sun glint

I had some IRL stuff that needed attention so pausing the sim and coming back later it was closer to full night when we continued onwards

Dropping in to Dumaguete–Sibulan Airport

Heading out from Entebbe into relatively clear skies. Catch me next time, rain!

Back on slope

Passing over Rt 1 heading for Palm Beach Shores

Climbing out from Leigh Creek

Looks like a decent crosswind for landing. Let's go!

Have plenty of room to get through this valley but of course from the cockpit it seems like I'm squeezed in with barely any space to maneuver

NOOOOOO!!!!!! The runway is literally over that small rise in the distance and I've run out of fuel. Since I had to restart the end of my flight and didn't note exactly how much fuel I had I could have restarted with less than I had but I'm not sure. I think I would have run out of fuel anyways even if I hadn't restarted. I made a lot of bad fuel management decisions on this flight, not taking fully into account the non-direct flight plan and how much time it would take me to weave through the valley to get to the airport. Still, HUGELY frustrating as I had to then wait several hours before I could finally finish the flight
