Leg 6 Syracuse to Niagara Falls, New York (KIAG).

Niagara Falls (French: les Chutes du Niagara) is a set of massive waterfalls located on the Niagara River, straddling the international border separating the Canadian province of Ontario and the U.S. state of New York.
A fairly cloudy run heading 282 degrees the entire trip of 123 nautical miles, with Rochester the approximate half-way point.
En-route to Niagara - view over the left engine.




Crosswind landing off the 28R ILS.

Leg 5 Pittsfield to Syracuse, New York (KSYR).

Syracuse was named after the original Syracuse, a city on the eastern coast of Sicily, Italy, with which it shares some similarities, including a formerly important salt industry and a neighboring town of Salina.

Leg 3 Next hop was to Hartford, Connecticut
Sometimes referred to as the "insurance capital of the world," Hartford houses many of the world's insurance company headquarters, and insurance is one of the region's major industries.
Leg 4 Hartford to Pittsfield, Massachusetts
In 2005, Farmer's Insurance ranked Pittsfield 20th in the United States as Most Secure Place To Live (Small Towns fewer than 150,000 residents).

Flight Sim Adventure - USA East to West by Seneca

Well, after returning back from my holiday to Hungary and Vancouver I have decided to embark on another trip immediately!
However this trip is within the virtual world of Flight Simulator - but at least I am at the controls.

The trip begins in Nantucket on the East Coast and the plan is to head to Seattle on the West Coast.

Once there will head to Vancouver to begin a Canadian adventure.

Leg 1 is Nantucket, Massachusetts (KACK) to Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts (KMVY)
In all the excitement, I forgot to take a pic leaving Nantucket!
Leg 2 is Martha's Vineyard (KMVY) to Newport, Rhode Island (KUUU)
