Look like fun! Figure I'll be making my first flaps 40 landing in severe icing conditions soon! :)

It might be fun to fly these routes both in the 727 and in my other new love, that shiny new ATR-72 :-cool (though a lot less challenging)

Thanks dude!

James -

Can you tell me where you got the map image? I'm looking for one like that, but a bit larger (geographically).

There is a pretty good online Atlas care of Microsoft:-

In an attempt to remedy my woeful knowledge of US geography I have created a short 8 leg trip around the Great Lakes. This should be good practice in the 727, with a mixture of short hops between 150nm and 370nm. The shortest runway is 4000' long so is fairly unforgiving (with water on 3 sides).
