An Around the World Adventure
Just a little over 10 years ago, I successfully completed an around the world adventure using a Mooney Bravo in FSX. I departed KAPA (my local GA airport in Centennial, Colorado) on 30 September 2010 and arrived back at the same airport on 19 November of the same year. That route took me northeast through…

But with each P3D update, I optimistically…

Welcome Aboard KPHX to KLAS
