  1. Del Norte County KCEC → Rogue Valley International-Medford Airport KMFR

    California is now behind me; Medford is the first stop in Oregon. With the King Air, the 70 miles passed in no time at all, there was barely enough time to snap a few photos.

  2. Del Norte County KCEC → Del Norte County KCEC

    This time, I switched to X-Plane 12 as my flight simulator software and completed a few training flights.

    The King Air C90B is a twin-engine turboprop and comes with a classic-meets-modern "mullet" cockpit, so I wanted to give it a try.

    The default ground imagery in X-Plane differs from Microsoft Flight Simulator in that there’s no aerial imagery projected onto the ground, which is a slight drawback. However, the lighting effects are impressive, which makes up for it to some extent.

  3. Shelter Cove 0Q5 → Del Norte County KCEC

    Crescent City is the last major settlement before the California-Oregon state border. The forests grow increasingly dense, and the landscape becomes noticeably greener.

  8. Sacramento Executive KSAC → Charles M. Schulz–Sonoma County KSTS

    The Beechcraft King Air 350i that ships with Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is broken. This was my first and last flight with this particular aircraft.

    I had to skip several steps in the startup checklist because there are simply no instruments to monitor the engines.

    Also missing: the ability to add departure, arrival, and approach procedures to the flight plan.

    So, it ended up being mostly a VFR flight, which, fortunately, worked out fine thanks to the excellent weather.

    The King Air 350i in MSFS 2020 is the significantly better version.

    This leg’s highlights? San Francisco’s skyline, the Bay’s iconic bridges, the rugged beauty of Point Reyes, and a breathtaking sunset.

  9. Hollywood Burbank KBUR → Santa Barbara Municipal KSBA

    This time, there was no GPS involved. I navigated by hopping from VOR to VOR, with all frequencies and courses dialled-in manually.

    On closer inspection, the VOR sites were visible on the ground when crossing them.

    By choosing the Beechcraft Bonanza this time, I've now flown a different aircraft on each of the five legs of the current journey.

  14. Imperial Beach KNRS → Calexico International KCXL

    As promised, a new adventure begins.

    Takeoff just before sunrise in Imperial Beach: The colors of the clouds hint at a spectacular dawn. And I wasn’t disappointed.

    A little fun with city names: Today's destination Calexico sits just north of the Mexican border, with a city named Mexicali waiting on the other side.

  15. Helgoland-Düne EDXH → St. Michaelisdonn EDXM

    A little filler until the next big journey starts.

    The Beechcraft Bonanza brought me in perfect weather from Helgoland to the eastern side of the Elbe estuary. From here, I will sporadically continue heading south.

    But first things first: Tomorrow marks the beginning of a new adventure along the West Coast of North America. Stay tuned.

  16. Charleston International KCHS → Savannah/Hilton Head International KSAV

    Early in the morning, before sunrise, I set off for the next leg, again in the King Air 350i. The ILS approach to Runway 01 in Savannah is quite exciting because here a DME arc with a 14 nm radius is flown: A first for me and I had to do it twice (cockpit image below is from the first, not successful try ;-))

  17. Cape Fear Regional KSUT → Charleston International KCHS

    A few more miles along the coast in the King Air 350. This plane is so much fun! The weather is exciting these days, I'm observing some pretty gusty winds. The autopilot doesn't mind, but I definitely break a sweat sometimes during the landings.

  18. Marine Corps Auxiliary Landing Field Bogue KNJM → Cape Fear Regional KSUT

    It’s been a while since I last flew the King Air 350, and I thought today would be a good opportunity. It’s loud, but it flies like a dream. “Time flew by” (get this?) and the ground had me back in no time.
