....up the I-40

[Fozzer]

On the very rare occasions when I want to cover a few miles fairly quickly, I leave my trusty Cessna 150 Aerobat in the hangar, and wheel out my high-speed, Helloware Beech Baron TC (Turbo-Charged).... ...!

(Another one of the lovely FS 2002/FS 2004 Aircraft that work an absolute treat in FSX!).

A speedy flight from Amarillo, in the flat plains of "Takes-us", following Interstate I-40 and Route 66, to Albuquerque in New Mexico, where the fun and fantastic scenery really starts!

Always lots of heavy traffic on the I-40 down below, and the occasional excursion off, on Route 66, (when you can find it!), makes a welcome relief!

Route 66: A fantasy trip I never fail to enjoy!

FSX: No fancy pics, Chums.... ....Too busy enjoying the flight and the scenery!... ...>>>

Nice set of shots Paul and a very good looking aeroplane...

Wonder how if any Ghost Towns there are along that route now

Hello Doug....!

Many Thanks!.... ...!

There are loads of beauty spots dotted all along the 2,500 miles of Route 66, from Chicago to Los Angeles.

Historic Route 66 is a magic highway frequented by loads of visitors every year.

I regularly watch the whole of it, in the "Travel Channel" series; "Worlds Greatest Motorcycle Rides", ridden by Henry Cole on his Saxon Chopper Motorcycle!
There are some truly fascinating places along the route, particularly, for me, between Albuquerque and Barstow, a journey I would dearly love to travel on my Motorcycle!
I spend many hours in both the Flight Sim, and watching the Motorcycle "Eagle Riders" on You-Tube, travelling the route!

The joys of Flight Simming is that I can be there, every day.....for the price of a drop of electricity!..... ...!

I love exploring the amazing USA scenery...been doing it, every day, for the past 17 years now..... every place a surprise!

I've done the whole of Route 66 on my Flight Sim Beech Baron 58, many years ago, and recorded the journey in the FS 2004 Flight Sim!
