Eureka!

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.

Eureka...>>>

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

*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.
