FlightSim Labs and why I changed my mind
Sometimes, we have the idea or the mindset that “I’ll never do ____________” (insert word or phrase) because of this, that or some other reason.

WorldFlight 2018 GBS Tour – Leg 12
As mentioned in the last tour update, our travelers since leaving Australia, have been bouncing from one island to the next.

The tour was conducted by US DOD (Dept. of Defense) officials and unfortunately no photographs were permitted during the tour. …
