Clear Lake, 100 miles north of San Francisco

From the airport near Lakeport - 1O2

The FTX Northern California still exceeds my expectations.




A quick touch and Go






Back up and away


A turn over the lake




To the far side


The distant shore



Getting late, time to go

Thanks, guys.

This scenery from Orbx/FTX is helping me to understand why people like California so much.

I have the Orbx/FTX Central Rockies, Northern Rockies, Pacific Northwest, and now Northern California.

They're all good, but this one, so far, looks to be the best.

BTW- If others are interested in checking out the area, that airport isn't one zero two, but one O (the letter O as in Oh) two. Or just look it up as airport name Lampson, city of Lakeport.



My only experience of California (aside from a short visit to San Francisco) was the Beale Air Force Base area, home to the SR71, back in the early '70s.

There is absolutely no picture that will ever impress you as much as being near an SR71.

An SR71 trainer



In person, looking at it from the front, it looks like a gladius sword pointed at you.
