Round the World in a 172 Hop 1

[Jayhawk Jake]

Well, Jared and I started our newest adventure (along with a few others), attempting to fly a Cessna 172 around the world.

Jared and I were having a small argument while setting up, so I got in his face


Here we go...I'm in front, Jared is to the right, XFalcon750 is to the left, and Shane is above


We started at the factory that builds 172's in Independence, Kansas and headed for Indiana.  Needless to say, there's not much exciting scenery on the way.  This is the Mississippi River, just south of St. Louis, and further proof that no one wants to go to Missouri


Falcon had gotten bored and flew an F-16 all the way to the destination, then came back and tried to form on me.  It's a bit easier for the Cessna to cruise at 109 knots than the Falcon


Falcon switched to a Katana and flew the rest of the way more reasonably, here I am following him to park (FS finally decided to make the paint work on my Cessna)


And Jared landing


Hope you enjoyed, a good time was had by all!  Join next Saturday if you're interested, check the multiplayer section and http://roundtheworldcessna172.wordpress.com/

Nice shots Jake.   :)
I'm envious of all who participated, as I currently don't have internet at home (I post from work).
Love that aggressive nose-to-nose shot! 8-)

Cool flight, but indeed this big white flat area seems a bit boring for such a long flight. It's a good thing you had friends flying around. I tend to avoid this kind of areas as much as I can.

We'll be out of the boring soon enough.  I tend to avoid it as well, but unfortunately, I live in the thick of it

Here's from my perspective





Thanks for the great flight guys!

Flying with friends is probably the only way of getting round the world in a sim C172 without dying of boredom

Great ones 8-).
I've never seen f-16's transforming into f-18c
