In my quest to get out of flying the same routes over and over, I have embarked on a journey of a different kind. I began looking for different things in places that I would not normally think of flying. With that in mind I started simple. Living in the US I started flying to cities that I had never visited, using short to medium range segments and using either the 737 or the Embraer EJets. This soon turned into a tour of the US, a tour of Central America and then South America. I then flew the wonderful 767-300ER (PIC) from Brazil over to Lisbon and did a nice tour of Europe. That was followed by the latest, my circumnavigation of Africa in the iFly 737. I try and keep the segments between one and one and half hours, with a maximum of 2 hours, I am after all a family man and have other obligations. Nevertheless, it has taken me two years to complete this wonderful journey. I’ve accumulated over 250 hours of flying, landed at 200+ airports encountered good weather, bad weather, hairy approaches, lots of night flying and in general a great deal of satisfaction. I’ve take a many pictures, here are but a few of the African tour..enjoy and I hope that my experience will promote a bit of adventure on your part…fly somewhere new!

Hi!Many thanks for the inspiration. Might have to try and visit Africa in FsX myself someday. I know it's not flying but if you're interested in Africa there's a book I wanted to reccommend called "Dark Star Safari" by the travel writer Paul Theroux. He basically travels overland from the top (Egypt) to the bottom (South Africa). There's some very interesting writing in it (at least I think so).Many thanksPierre
