I always fly around Southern California, between Santa Rosa, San Francisco and Los Angeles.
I love the realistic scenery in that area. A mixture of mountains, valleys, lakes and the Pacific Ocean!
After flying the area for the past 7 years I know it like the back of my hand, probably more than the people who actually live there...!
I fly mainly General Aviation, (GA), aircraft with the help of FS Navigator...
http://www.fsnavigator.com...and most of my airfields/airstrips are populated with LAGO FSSE objects...
http://www.lagoonline.com...and all of this is done with the fabulous FS 2002...!
As well as navigate using VOR's and NDB's, I also constantly communicate with ATC for permission to overfly, land, and take-off, from all the airfields I wish to visit on my daily tour...weather permitting...!
So...
I fly anything from a Cessna 150 to a Beech Baron twin, to a Dh Beaver float plane, VFR only, for short hops, in and out of airstrips/lakes, lasting for a couple of hours...
...and back home in time for tea, and salmon and cucumber sandwiches...

...!
(..or maybe a bit of over-night camping and fishing with my Beaver...)...

To me, this is what "Fun" flying is all about...

Cheers all...

P.S. ..you also get to know about parts of the World that you may never get the chance to visit in a lifetime...
