Comments

Why would I fly from Deelen? Well, my parents have a summer cottage there and I used to peddle through those woods on my bicycle. I doubt if the Dutch air force would let me land my Mooney Bravo there, but hey, this is a sim, anything is possible ! Even changing planes in mid-flight.

This is one of the earlier trips I made and some of the comments in my review pertain to what I found here. Like the forests covering the roads. I know that a lot of environmental activists would actually welcome this feature, but it is not the reality... I actually made a longer flight, but forgot to take pictures after taking off from Soesterberg :-)
