Well I made a flight plan in Plan G departing Tacoma and looping around the major mountains in the area as well as a couple other sites and ending at Whidbey. Instead of going low and slow I thought why not take the T-38 out for a spin. I also connected Plan G to FSX for this flight and loved the map and radio/autopilot control feature.

I encountered some cloud cover which blocked the Satsop nuclear facility and Mt Olympus waypoints I had set, but overall it was a nice flight just looking out the window high above the PacNW.

FANTASTIC mountains and clouds. Very nice detail in the plane too.

What are you using for scenery?
