Connected to FS 2004 Multiplayer, loaded up "Real Weather" for my flight near San Francisco: Forecast low pressure, poor visibility, and occasional rain... ::)...!

Took a flight in my little Cessna 150 Aerobat from Byron > Funny Farm > Rio Vista > Travis AFB > to land at Napa Airfield for Dinner... :)...!

Not exactly ideal conditions for my usual VFR-only flights, but thankfully

You won't be dissapointed by REX, for sure :)
Nice shots, this is my kind of flight, small aircraft, exploration... I just avoid the big flat lands, they can be annoying when flying a small airplane.

The reason why I like daily Simming in California is because there is a surprise around every corner regarding the landscape...

..from the Pacific Ocean, over the low mountains, through the fertile Central Valley, inland lakes and water-ways, Forests and National Parks, above the towering snow-tipped Sierra Nevada Mountains, to the deserts of Nevada down below....enough scenery variation to suit every Simmer!... [smiley=thumbsup.gif]...!

After 10+ years of daily Flight Simming there, (since Flight Unlimited II/III), I know every inch of "Cal".... ;D....!

As Governor Arnie would say;..."Welcome to California!".... :)...!

Ta, Doug...

My little Cessna 150 is the free model; "c150_v2", with one or two of my Panel mods, and Shane's excellent job of painting my Registration Letters on her!... :-*...!

She is a joy to fly, with full instrumentation, and a very speedy 140+ knots on her ASI...!

My favourite little fun tourer!

P.S...note my Avatar on the door pillars!...;)...;)...

Hello Doug...

I have fitted my speedy 150 Aerobat with the larger Roll-Royce O-240A 130HP motor giving her a top speed slightly exceeding 140 knots, foot to the floor, (fuel consumption no object!)...... with our combined "light weight!"...;)... ;D...!

...I am toying with the idea of fitting an exhaust-driven Turbocharger!... :o... :o....!

Also fitted is my favourite (expensive) Bendix-King, full Radio Stack...perfect for Radio Navigation!

A real, all-rounder, Fun Machine!

Hi Paul... :)

Just did a little research and I see they did make 734 Cessna 150 Aerobats in the United States and they also made a Cessna 152 Aerobat.

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug
