Flight Of The Cannibal Queen

Featured Replies

(I'm not sure where else to put this, so if any mod has a better location for this, please feel free to move)

After the Flight Of Passage (which was quite epic and took a while to complete), here comes another tour event based on a real story. This time we’re going to follow the aerial footsteps of Stephen Coonts who flew his Boeing Stearman literally all over the USA in 1991. And he wrote a book about it:

"The Cannibal Queen: A Flight Into The Heart Of America"

I’m streaming the legs on Twitch and there’s a YT playlist which shows the tour progress. For those who like to join the group flights it might make sense to visit our Discord server, so we're able to communicate more easily.

I encourage anyone to join in. Doesn’t matter whether you only come along for some short legs or the entire (very long!) tour. I’ll be flying a Stearman, but you’re welcome to use any single piston engine aircraft you like. Unless you have the same Stearman addon installed you’ll probably see me as a generic plane like a Cessna 172 or a Bonanza. We're flying several times a week, if the real world allows. My nickname on MSFS Multiplayer is StudentWolke4, so add me as a friend to make it easier to join me or the group if we're already in the air.

Here's your checklist with recommendations & requirements

  1. For various reasons we're currently using FS2020 - you have to have this as well if you want to fly along
  2. Read about the tour on this website to know what it's about
  3. Watch past legs of tours on YT.
  4. Join the Discord server to get the latest information and notifications when a leg starts.
  5. If you're unsure whether this tour is for you, watch a leg on Twitch.

Blue skies to all of you!

Lately people have asked me quite often why I'm not doing these tours in FS2024.

I've tried to compile an answer here so I don't have to repeat myself again and again. 🙂
