I am never short of lots of cosy little airstrips to hop into, and out of, anywhere in Sunny California..... :D ...!

And the weather is generally good...(no frozen carburettors!).

There are many good airstrips for a challenge in the Pacific if you're after a change of pace. Lord Howe Island is a nice challenge for larger craft given the largest plane to ever have landed there is a C-130 Hercules. There is nice scenery available for the area too which is a lovely place to test newly installed planes.

I personally also enjoy flying in and out of Phillip Island (YPID I believe?) because of its narrow, gravel runways which have the ocean at one end.

Don't forget Rollins (GA53, I believe) which is found south of KPDK near Atlanta.

I do alot of flying in South America, there are many remote strips located there. I believe around 3/4 of South America proves to be very challenging to both aircraft and pilot.

If you search "bush flying" here at SimV, you"ll find FSX scenery from the Amazon to Zambezi.
