Watched a very good film on next-door neighbour's Television Set last night...>>>

"Jennifer Eight"..>>>

Filmed in Eureka. North California.

Then, next morning, I wheeled my trusty little Cessna 150 out of the Hangar, and popped up to Eureka to have a peek around the area described in the Film....(as I do)...

Strange, isolated place. The North-most tip of California, on the Pacific Coast, surrounded by giant Redwood Trees, (the sort that have tunnels carved through them, that you can drive through!).

Local Industry: Mostly Logging.

Flying over the Lumber Yards....



What a wonderful tool the flight Sim is, for teaching Geography and History while we fly the World*... ...!

Paul...G-BPLF...FS 2004... 8-)...!

*Recently been listening to the live Cal news, and tracking all the current Wild Fires in California in my Cessna and Baron!

True that Fozzer I use the sim to get a birds eye view of places Ive been or would like to go

Kuwait and Iraq are pretty uninteresting in the sim.

And flying around Alaska is gonna get me out there at some point in my life.

Foz, I see that manual autopilot was on in the last shot  ;)

Eureka, them city slickin yayhoos!  ;D
