Nice looking Cherokee David! That will give you a little change, and give the 172 a little breather!

 

We're all enjoying your adventure. Believe me, when you get out west towards the Pacific coast, they scenery is unbelievable. I did a lot of my legs with jetliners as the altitude of some of those mountain tops are really high! Keep up the good work and I really do like the map layouts that Jim had suggested. When you get finished with the adventure, I'll pin you down one day, and you can help me get my computer setup with that program. And, you should be a Pro with it, by then!

Thanks Rick. I am really enjoying this adventure. Out west is going to be great! It's nice to visit airports I never even thought of. Yes the Little Navmap is great. I definitely need to get deeper into the program. I just know how to plan the routes and use the map. Connecting it to FSX and all the other fancy things I will need to read and practice a lot more. :D

David, I did the same route, but I didn't see the odd runway in FSX Acceleration. I tried every little field...:);)

 

I'll have to check it out when I get home from work. If I recall it wasn't to far west of New York city.

New York? Pic 3 is in the section of leaving Philadelphia? Unless you are heading north back to New York City? :rolleyes:

Oops, Southwest of Philadelphia! Good catch Rick. Sorry about that Jan :o

Yep, David, you found a strange airport indeed!!!

Appears to be airport 5PN7 to the west of Philadelphia Northeast? Check out the houses to the right side, falling into the PIT!

 

https://skyvector.com/airport/5PN7/Jarrett-Airport Says it's a 1200' runway? Be careful if you try it!!! LOL!

WTH? I knew it looked odd from the air but I sincerely think there is something amiss with the rendering in FSX! That is just way too funny!!!!!!!!!! Now I'm more interested than ever to check that out. I might be able to set a Maule on it. Maybe I'll call the guy that owns it and send him the picture and ask him how long it took him to build that :D Ancient Astronaut Theorists say yes! Someone call Giorgio Tsoukalos to investigate this place......

I had to laugh too David. If you call the owner, ask him what is holding up the 2 houses on the right side! If you do fly the Maule in there, be extra careful coming out, you only have 1200' to work with! (You can do it, I know!)

 

Here you go, from a different angle!

I guess the next time I see something out of place on my flights, I need to take the time to check them out. You know, stop and smell the roses so to speak... :D

No David, in this case, you did just fine! We don't want you to take "time out" just to fly the finding(s) as a challenge. We all want to see you finish out this adventure! I was flying the Chipmunk when I took these pics! Was I tempted to try the 1200' runway? NOPE, maybe a Piper Cub, but this scenerio was much more than I wanted to try!
