Here is an edited screen capture that was added recently in the “flight simulation” section above, under “virtual pictures”. This virtual flight was made using Microsoft Flight Simulator (FSX). The scenery, very well executed by Orbx, represents the Palm Springs region, in United States. It is the most recent addition to the collection of virtual airports available for the California region. The F-14, made by Dino Cattaneo, is a freeware (check the free download links that is provided). This combination of plane and airport is certainly going to please the virtual flight enthousiast!

Update October 19, 2014

Hi everybody!

Many pictures and articles have been added during the past few weeks. The last addition to this site can be found in the “flight simulation” section, under “standard virtual flights”. It’s a flight using FSX from  Redding (California) toward Sekiu (Washington State). To make it easier for those of you who would like to try it, I’ve added the approach and stall speeds. The Phenom 100 is surprisingly easy to fly because it is a light jet with a low approach speed. It constitutes an excellent small jet for the pilot who wishes to transfer from piston engine aircraft toward jets. The virtual Phenom 100 is made by Carenado and the scenery by Orbx.

Here is a screen capture added recently to the flight simulation section, under “virtual pictures”. The Pitts Special was designed in Wyoming and the first one was built in 1971. This aircraft has won more open competitions in United States than any other type. Everyone who has flown the Pitts Special praise its quick reactions at the slightest pressure on the controls. In the actual scene, the aircraft is over the Monterey airport, a creation of Orbx for the FSX platform.
