The Pyramids of Egypt:

 

Preflighting at Giza Airport, Pyramids in the background.

 

The Pyramids of Giza are often called one of the seven wonders of the

world. In Flight Simulator 98 there are several pyramids visible from the

airport at Giza (Embaba) (HEEM) but little or no mention is made of them. A

single situation file allows us to tour the area from the air. We know from

the desciption in the situation file that these are the "famous" Pyramids of

Giza. What most people probably don't realize is these aren't the only

pyramids that are found in FS98, more can be seen further south. We are

going to examine all the pyramids and explain which pyramids they are, who

built them, and when. We're also going to look over the famous "Sphinx" that

faces the rising sun over the Nile. I'm going to take this time to point out that

the pyramids that were placed in the Flight Simulator 98 scenery were done

with excellent accuracy. I used actual GPS coordinates to infer which pyramid

was being represented in the scenery.

The volcano has five crater lakes, with Ni no Ike at 2,905 m (9,531 ft) being the highest mountain lake in Japan. Ontake is a major sacred mountain, and following older shamanistic practices, actors and artists have gone to the mountain to put themselves into trances in order to get divine inspiration for their creative activities.

113 Fort George, Grenada. Cruise Ship=N12* 3.47' W61* 46.23' Alt 616 Feet MSL

Located on the promontory to the west of the harbor is Fort George. Built in 1705 by the French, many of the buildings are now used by the police. One of the rooms has been converted to a gym and another to a sort of sewing room. Much of the fort is still intact and open to visitors. However, the buildings are very dilapidated, from a combination of Hurricane damage and neglect, and there is little or no information within the fort itself. There's a good view from the battlements. There is a $2.00 per person fee to visit the Fort.
