The final leg of the Lower 48 circumnavigation brings us from Brown Field in San Diego along the southern border and back to home base. And it's a beautiful day for a flight. Now boarding! twitch.tv/SkylarDarkfox
We're now on the penultimate leg of the Lower 48 circumnavigation, and today we're flying the length of the US Pacific coast from Port Angeles, Washington to San Diego, California. Now boarding! twitch.tv/SkylarDarkfox
We're now on leg 5 of the Lower 48 circumnavigation, and today's flight takes us along the US/Canada border from Grand Marais, Minnesota to Port Angeles, Washington just south of the 49th parallel. Now boarding! twitch.tv/SkylarDarkfox
It depends. One reason some people (like myself) mask their struggles from loved ones is that the "help" the loved ones offer might not be exactly... helpful. They may suggest doing basic things you've already tried, or tell you to just do the thing you're struggling with. ("It's not that hard!")

Today we're on leg 4 of the Lower 48 circumnavigation, and we'll be flying the Great Lakes from Presque Isle, ME to Grand Marais, MN. We're taking the scenic route; total flight time should be around six hours. Now boarding! twitch.tv/SkylarDarkfox
It's a red-eye tonight as we continue the Lower 48 circumnavigation from Manteo, NC to Presque Isle, ME. Come join us! twitch.tv/SkylarDarkfox

We're back in the Starship for a short mini-expedition that will take us on a counter-clockwise lap around the contiguous US. Our first leg takes us from home base in Texas along the Gulf Coast to Key West, Florida. Now boarding! twitch.tv/SkylarDarkfox
Finally managed to get through a flight without MSFS dying, so now let's bring it home. Today we're departing Richmond for La Porte -- through the remnants of Isaias, so buckle up! Now boarding! twitch.tv/SkylarDarkfox
Okay, this will be our third attempt at leaving Reykjavik, and quite possibly the last for the indefinite future if MSFS crashes again. I have no other remedies if this driver reinstall doesn't fix it. So... let's try flying to Richmond. Now boarding! twitch.tv/SkylarDarkfox
Just because I couldn't make it to chase Isaias in real life doesn't mean I can't chase it in the sim. So that's what we're going to do. Since the sim crashed before we could get started last time, today we're doing Reykjavik to Pensacola. Now boarding! twitch.tv/SkylarDarkfox
Today we're going to try to make it all the way home from Reykjavik in one non-stop flight. I've done it once before in this very aircraft, and it's a long one. So make sure you bring your neck pillow. Now boarding! twitch.tv/SkylarDarkfox
Now that we're finished with the ten-leg Meridional Round-The-World Flight, we're starting back across the Atlantic to reset for the next adventure. Our flight today: London Biggin Hill to Lajes in the Azores. Now boarding! twitch.tv/SkylarDarkfox
Thanks to a CTD on arrival, we get our second redo of this journey. But hopefully I've resolved the issue now. Now boarding! twitch.tv/SkylarDarkfox
Today brings us the tenth and final leg of the Meridional Round-the-World Flight, as we continue south from Longyearbyen, Svalbard to our origin at Biggin Hill Airport south of London. Now boarding! twitch.tv/SkylarDarkfox

Today we're on leg 8 of the Meridional Round-The-World Flight as we continue north from Midway Island to Anadyr, Russia. Might be short-sleeve weather here, but we'll have to change into something warmer before we land. Now boarding! twitch.tv/SkylarDarkfox
Today we continue north through the Central Pacific on leg 7 of the Meridional Round-the-World Flight, from Tuvalu to Midway Island. Along the way we'll pass the antipode of Null Island at 0° latitude, 180° longitude. Now boarding! twitch.tv/SkylarDarkfox

We're on leg 4 of the Meridional Round-the-World Flight, and this one is specially timed... we'll be crossing the South Pole at the moment of the spring equinox, to see the only sunrise of the year at 90°S. Now boarding! twitch.tv/SkylarDarkfox

Leg 2 of the Meridional Round-the-World Flight, and today it's a red-eye from Accra to Cape Town. Along the way we'll be overflying "Null Island," a patch of ocean made famous as a default location for mapping software. (0°N 0°E). Now boarding! twitch.tv/SkylarDarkfox
Today we begin the Meridional Round-the-World Flight with an evening departure from London's Biggin Hill Airport to Accra, Ghana. We'll be following the Prime Meridian as closely as possible until the South Pole. Now boarding! twitch.tv/SkylarDarkfox
And across the pond we go. Today's flight takes us from Gander, Newfoundland, over the North Atlantic to London Biggin Hill Airport, which will serve as our anchor for the Meridional Round-the-World Flight starting tomorrow. Now boarding! twitch.tv/SkylarDarkfox
We're back to the Citation Longitude as we make our way across the pond for our next adventure: a polar around-the-world journey along the prime and 180th meridians (or at least as close as we can manage). First stop: Gander, Newfoundland. Now boarding! twitch.tv/SkylarDarkfox

Happy Labor Day! Today's flight takes us from the legendary Sin City to the much chillier Calgary, Alberta. Now boarding! twitch.tv/SkylarDarkfox
A driver glitch cut us short yesterday, so let's try this again. Today we're back in the Starship, and we have a couple of choices for a destination. Which will it be? Let's find out. Now boarding! twitch.tv/SkylarDarkfox
Today is the last flight day for a week, since Stratosfur is coming up. But I've got an idea brewing for when we come back. But for now, we're headed back home from Sept-Îles after finishing the Great Lakes Tour, with a stop in Cleveland. Now boarding! twitch.tv/SkylarDarkfox
The third and final day of the Great Lakes Tour, and today we're taking off from Grosse Ile Municipal near Detroit to overfly the last two lakes in our itinerary (Erie and Ontario) and then continue to the end of the St. Lawrence River. Now boarding! twitch.tv/SkylarDarkfox
It's a nice sunny day in Gary, Indiana as we continue with the second day of our Great Lakes tour. Today we're flying Lakes Michigan and Huron, stopping at Cheboygan and continuing on to Grosse Ile just south of Detroit. Now boarding! twitch.tv/SkylarDarkfox
Now that we're set up at Bong Airport (heh heh) in Superior, WI, it's time to fly the Great Lakes. Today it'll be Superior and Michigan, with a stop in Sault Ste. Marie in Michigan's Upper Peninsula and then wrapping in Gary, IN. Now boarding! twitch.tv/SkylarDarkfox
Now that we've completed the Four Rivers Tour, why not try the five lakes? Today we're heading up to Superior, Wisconsin in the Starship to kick off a short tour of the Great Lakes. Come join us! twitch.tv/SkylarDarkfox
So with that said, let's wrap it up and bring it home. Now boarding! twitch.tv/SkylarDarkfox
Day 13 of the Four Rivers Tour, and we're nearly to the home stretch. Today we're taking off from Cape Girardeau, Missouri, and flying down the Mississippi as far as we can get before dusk. Can we make it to New Orleans? Let's find out. Now boarding! twitch.tv/SkylarDarkfox
Day 12 of the Four Rivers Tour, and we're wrapping up the Missouri as we approach its confluence with the Mississippi at St. Louis. If daylight permits, we'll try to get as far as Memphis. Now boarding! twitch.tv/SkylarDarkfox
