One of the outdoors reporters on a local TV news station has a neat segment every now & again where he goes out into some of the local backcountry and has the cameraman film him as he describes some of the local terrain, features, etc. However, he never quite gives away his location. Instead, they have a contest for folks to call in & guess where he is based on the video in the segment.

Thought it'd be a whole lot of fun to do the same thing Flight Sim-style, so here goes! Can you guess where I'm flying from and to? I won't give any clues except the photos, so don't beg. Besides, this first one should be pretty easy, especially to folks like lnuss... ;-)

Good luck! Oh, almost forgot... for the winner: sunset shots of this same flight.

Great set of shots, thanks for sharing them. Is that that Uluru rock thing in the first shot? My only guess is the Outback somewhere or Utah.

Glad you liked the shots, and thanks for taking a guess!

It's definitely not Australia though ;-) This was in the continental U.S.

Ok... one hint ;-): I landed in a different state than I took off from.

Any other guesses?

You're half-right, although you didn't guess which airports ;-)

Lots of warm guesses -- anybody else want to take a swing at it? Where's Larry when I need somebody good at their red-rock geography ;-)
