After the Mrs. went to sleep I fired up FSX and finished up my sightseeing flight over and in the Grand Canyon. The North Rim is higher so I climbed as I approached it.
106596
Jumping over parts of the North Rim at a bit over 10k feet left me with some better views than if I were closer to the ground.
106597
106598
106599
106600
Leaving the Canyon after about 4 hours. The last view of the Colorado for now.
106601
Long final into the wind over Tucsayan.
106602
A little battle with the wind before the wheels touch down.
106603
Here's where I'm going next! The aircraft is the 1910 Kruse-Curtiss from the file archive over Montauk Point at the eastern end of Long Island, New York. The scenery is FSX default. I have to install the LI airports I have downloaded, but I am surprised there is no lighthouse within the loop of road. No cliffs down there either. Tsk, tsk...
