..of course, I forgot to mention that all my daily explorations are carried out using the Flight Sims (FS 2004/FSX), various maps (satellite, terrain, etc), local news (Kron4, LA Times, BBC News, etc), and Wikipedia for area details...
...but its still disturbing when I am so familiar with the particular region in my Flight Sim explorations...
I cover lots of news disasters in the Flight Sim, (Wildfires, Floods, Landslides, Earthquakes, etc) and explore those areas in great detail each day.
Lots to learn about the World, using Microsoft's Flight Simulators, plus some extra bits and bobs!
