well i am doing a tour of the USA in my argentine pucara(its a great plane for this) and i was wondering if you have any suggestions for places to visit. i started out in greenwood MS and went north to tupelo and then went east to birmingham alabama, i am thinking i might head to atlanta for the next leg but need suggestions for after that(but not florida) i dont want to head that way more north easterly. i know this isnt one of those round world trips but i dont have time to do that.
cheers guys
Craig

Ronald Reagan Intl is a great area especially with the scenery.  Wish I could tell you the name, but do a search for it.  Or towards St. Louis, MI.

KDCA is the code for Ronald Reagan Intl
head up to the finger lakes area of NY. Mostly small airports but a nice default scenery, but still shows the beauty of the area. Local airport here is Tompkins County Regional (KITH)

Hey craige, I'm also doing a tour of the US. I've been posting pics in the screenshots forum and right now I'm in Maine (Having posted the pics on it yet) Well I was thinking maybe we could meet up somewhere along on our trips. I just switched my aircraft to the Rutan Long-Eze because I got sick of the default Cessna. The Long-Eze is alot faster and better range. Well let me know if you want to meet somewhere maybe we could do it on an online flight.

On the way to DC, stop at Charlottesville VA...

When making your way west, stop at Angola, IN

Both places hold a special place for me ...  (was invited not to return to one, graduated with honors from the other)

If both you guys head to Boston MA - I'll look out my window and look for you - They did a pretty good job of downtown -
But From DC head up to New York City before you head upstate - there are some good suggestions in the favorite airport thread also

You have to visit Vegas, it's probably the most colorful city in the U.S. and L.A. is nice too, Chicago is pretty cool.
Those three places really stick out in my mind from my tour of the U.S.
You can read about my trip around the country at my website.
