Exploring Madagascar Part II
In part one our last stop was at Bandaressalam, so that is where we will begin our VFR flight this time, exploring the intriguing and interesting country of Madagascar.
Across the Pacific
“They say that every journey starts with a first step. My journey would take me on a series of island hopping flights starting from the east coast of Australia to the west coast of South America. My first step was not flight planning, but rather obtaining a co-pilot, and more room!”
Lost City of the Incas
In recent articles we’ve shared experiences travelling to the Mayan ruins at Tikal in Guatemala, then out to the remarkable Galapagos Islands on the Equator. This time we invite you to join us on a high-altitude adventure in the Peruvian Andes.
More Fun Than Allowed?

Exploring the Lakes of Minnesota
“The State rules say that a water landing spot must be at least a mile long, have plenty of room width-wise, and no significant obstructions on the approaches.

Reginald’s Secret FS Adventures – Part III
“John was a little disappointed with his performance in his test flight in our A320 cockpit simulator. Having to look around for information on different screens and operate pedals and a throttle quadrant was, for him, an entirely different experience to the “mouse click” and keyboard operation of the simulator on his home PC. He was all “fingers and thumbs”, but he clearly enjoyed himself nevertheless.”
