 The route is 168 miles in length with six landings.  An aircraft with good outside visibility is recommended in order to appreciate the small but delightful towns as we circle around them.  I plan to fly the Pipistral Virus which is a little slow (90knts cruise / 130knts max) but affords great side visibility out the plexiglass doors and has a capable avionics suite.

Recommend Departure time of 2pm local.  That will have us landing in late afternoon with nice afternoon light for most of the route.

 Estimated Flight Departure Time:  Wednesday 1800 UTC

You've really got to get on with your neighbours eh? 🙂

Wow! Heckuva site! Bookmarked as per advice. I soon learned I am not a robot. Nice to know. 🙂

Looks like a great flight, thanks Jeff!

I followed the advice in this video: 

 

and created a cached region Tuscany. I hope it helps when flying online. Offline everything looks extremely well.

 

This is a spectacular set up, Jeff. The nicely detailed photogrammetric historic cities crown the legendary beauty of the Tuscan countryside.

And those who fly over Siena will want to look down to identify the Plazza del Campo. It is here that the Palio is run twice a year. (You might enjoy a charmingly warm BBC documentary [9:38].)
