Visiting Hearst Castle

Recommended Posts

I’ve been here twice with our RV, so its fun to visit this place now again virtually.

This is my first flight in the MSFS Spirit of St. Louis. The last time I have taken this plane up was in FS9. How many years ago was that? I don’t want to count, let’s move on quickly. 🙂🙂

 

We pass by Moro Bay, btw there is a nice RV campground pretty close to the rock

Now comes the tricky part, landing this thing

Great set Bernd. How on earth did they land that aircraft! Mirrors or periscope perhaps? 🙂

A fun trip with time left over to relax on one of the patios in the late day sun. Never knew you could see out the front of that plane, or is that a 21st Century mod?

I'm happy my friends that you like this little excursion of mine. Quite a different plane from the usual GA and Boeings, but really fun to fly 🙂

Paul and John, that little periscope would slide out to the left and open a tiny window for you to see a bit of the airstrip in front of you. That feature was original and no modern mod 😉
