Not sure if many have seen this great recent (well circa 2019) aviation journey.  We have the scenery and the plane (for the most part) to go along with this in FS2020:

EPIC SOLO Cross-Country Flight in a Waco YMF-5 - YouTube

Fantasy of Flight (FA08) » Microsoft Flight Simulator

WYMF5 MSFS2020 – Carenado

 

I live not far from the museum and will grab my son who just got his pilot's license and head over to meet Mr. Weeks in person.  I hear the museum is amazing.

Thanks, trying to get this in the Hanger Chat forum because it's not getting much traction here.  This was great to watch especially now that we have the same aircraft in FS thanks to Carenado and the freeware scenery for Fantasy of Flight.  As I said above I plan to drive over and visit the real place and the aircraft.

"Fantasy of Flight" is definitely a great place to visit. I have been there twice. On one occasion we got access to the spare part hangar across the road. Amazing what Kermit Weeks has collected. Even saw a flight demonstration of the Fieseler Storch almost standing in the air against the wind. A great inspiration for everyone who enjoys heritage planes.

The pics of the scenery freeware look pretty close to reality from what I remember.
