November 13, 20205 yr Do I even need to finish the title? 🙂 Recall in my last post I was going from KABQ to Winslow, AZ and made a stop in between as I couldn't finish the flight. I completed it this morning....and although not good resolution (and the goofy tall autogen buildings)...the Route66 marker in that famous spot is there in MSFS! Below you can see the airport at the top of the screen, and the arrow points to the marker. The flight was beautiful in the early morning with crisp desert air.... Again....departed from this small, closed airport.... Beautiful views no matter what side of the plane you look out from. Passenger snapped a pic with his phone....had the table down...think he was gonna play some cards. 🙂 Getting on to final.... On the ground at the FBO Great flight...and I hope one of our intrepid Modder's will add the detail to this iconic American landmark. 🙂 Edited November 13, 20205 yr by Steve Dra Regards, Steve DraGet my paints for MSFS planes at flightsim.to here, and iFly 737s hereDownload my FSX, P3D paints at Avsim by clicking here

Heard they took off for some hotel in California... Leaving the Ford behind so they didn't leave the tracks of their tears.

Linda R.....oh my what a hottie in her day...and a voice! And....how many here knew the Eagles were her backup band before they made it on their own? There is a cool documentary o Netflix about the Eagles (I think it was Netflix) A must watch for any fan of the music of that era. Hey @fppilot...I wonder if they ever stayed at the Hotel California? If they did....wonder if they ever checked out? 😉 Regards, Steve DraGet my paints for MSFS planes at flightsim.to here, and iFly 737s hereDownload my FSX, P3D paints at Avsim by clicking here
