October 7, 20205 yr I flew around here a lot during Alpha but they don't want us to post any shots from that version. So here I've done something similar. Departing Page KFMY head SW towards the southern part of Sanibel Island. Then I fly north along the shore (where I spent two vacations as a small child). I remember picking up shells on the beach and recall tons of pelicans on the shoreline.... and the gators along JN Ding Darling Nature Preserve. I remember going down to the southern tip of the island and playing on the white sand beach with the lighthouse - and wading on the sandbars with sting rays gliding along next to my feet! (sometimes I asked my dad to pick me up because I was scared of them). Anyway I head north to Captiva Island (I believe a strong hurricane destroyed a lot of the northern portion of this beautiful island) and land at a private strip - Salty Approach.FL90. A lot of Florida has photogrammetry in the sim....highly contrasted by where I fly up here in MN. Someday I'll return to Sanibel with my own family! Has anyone been to this area? Is the lighthouse still there? There used to be a weird restaurant on south captiva - I think it was called The Bubble Room - still there? Anyway, the pics!
