On 4 August 2018 a Junkers JU52 aircraft operation by JU-Air crashed in the Swiss Alps while undertaking a sight-seeing tour. The flight was operated by 2 very experienced pilots, both ex-Air Force & ex-Airlines, who had flown the route numerous times before over many years, & the weather was fine, & there was no mechanical failure of the aircraft. So, how could such a thing happen? Stay tuned. Hope you find it interesting. Cheers.

A Pacific Southwest Boeing 727 Airliner & a Cessna 172 collided mid-air near Lindbergh Field, San Diego in September 1978. The Boeing was on downwind to land & the Cessna was completing ILS practice. All on board the aircraft died, along with some on the ground. The aircraft were destroyed, along with houses on the ground. As is common, there was a chain of events leading to the disaster, but one stands out on its own. Come see how such a thing can happen. Hope you find this interesting. Cheers.

Come join me in the recently updated Spitfire to Narvik in remote North Norway and see how the Allies beat Germany, for the fist time, in 1940, albeit only for a short time. Learn how the Battle of Norway/Narvik led to so many other military firsts. Hope you enjoy. Cheers.

Australia is a relatively flat country, but its highest mountains, the Snowy Mountains, are beautiful to tour & fly over. In this video we visit, in summer, Australia's highest airstrips & sealed-runway airport (with airport charts) & Australia's highest mountain, Mt Kosciuszko. Hope you enjoy. Cheers.

Come visit KCLE Cleveland Hopkins International Airport in Cleveland, Ohio, USA & learn its surprising history of aviation firsts. Enjoy the ride in a DC-3 & a side visit to Cleveland City & its lake-side airport KBKL Burke Lakefront (a bit like the old Chicago Meigs Field). Hope you enjoy.

In this video we replicate YouTuber Missionary Bush Pilot's flight from KPGA Page Municipal, Arizona, to backcountry Fry Canyon & Eagle City , Utah, in his new Kitfox, adding some extra sights of our own along the way. We take YouTuber Trent Palmer's "FreedomFox" Kitfox which is available in the MSFS Store. We fly across Lake Powell & along the Colorado River, across the Arizona - Utah border, with absolutely stunning scenery. Hope you enjoy. Cheers.

Couldn’t get US-1441 Grand Gulch Airstrip to come up in MSFS2020
Any other entry for this strip I could try?
xxd09
Hi xxd09. It is not in MSFS as an airport, and there is no freeware or payware. I had to find it in Google Earth and then mark it on the World Map in MSFS. Fortunately, the photoscenery in MSFS is so good that you can make out the airstrip. Cheers.

Are you a fan of YouTuber Missionary Bush Pilot and his incredible flights in a Kodiak in Papua New Guinea? Well, he has moved to Kingman, Arizona, USA & purchased a Kitfox for outback/backcountry flying. Come see his first adventure replicated in MSFS. Hope you enjoy. Cheers.

In June 1976, following an aircraft hijacking & holding of hostages at Entebbe Airport, Uganda, Israel undertook a daring military airbourne raid using C-130 Hercules aircraft to rescue the hostages. Come see how they did it & how successful it was. Hope you enjoy. Cheers.

Ukraine has a very old & strong aviation history with many airfields, manufacturers, educational institutions & museums. Come with me in the Ukraine Air Force-liveried McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Super Hornet to see some of these sights & learn their history. Let's hope that the current war is over soon & that Ukraine regains its rightful borders & place in aviation history. Hope you enjoy. Cheers.

What a nice unexpected surprise! Thanks everyone. Had a great day with the family with lunch at the Pancake Parlour. Amongst other gifts, the home economist (wife!) said I could spend up to $100 on payware for MSFS. Done in about 5 minutes with Orbx and MSFS Marketplace sales!!! Cheers.

Come visit the beautiful Scottish Highlands & learn about the mysterious WW2 crash that took the life of Prince George (Duke of Kent) & 13 others. Visit several WW2 airfields & seaplane bases, & learn a bit about anti-submarine underwater electric cables & early nuclear facilities. Enjoy the beautiful scenery too! Cheers.

Great WW2 history - see my video https://youtu.be/23oIEsTZp901975 - me and other engineers re-built the old WW2 strip to international standards as a gift to the newly independent PNG.
Did not have my PPL then, but sat alongside pilots in a Fokker Friendship F27 to test navigation aids, airport lighting etc. So many approaches at different angles of elevation and azimuth, I got as sick as a dog!
Cheers.

Join me in a DC-3 to visit Heritage-Listed Felts Field in Washington State, USA. What a beaut old airfield with still existing heritage buildings & structures! See some surrounding sights as well. And have a go at a vintage aircraft & automobile quiz at the end. Sincerely hope you enjoy, because that's the aim. Cheers.

There is no one corner where all four named states meet. There is one corner where NT, SA and Qld meet and another corner where SA, Qld and NSW meet.
Yep, as shown on the map, but they are close, hence “corner” rather than just corner in the video. Lots of literature refer to the area loosely as corner. But you are correct of course. Cheers.

YouTuber Missionary Bush Pilot video of 24 Feb 2023 shows a challenging, scenic flight in his Kitfox to a couple of remote airstrips in Arizona, USA. Here we replicate the flight, but we take YouTuber Trent Palmer's Kitfox because it's better & because it's available as a very nice payware aircraft in MSFS. Hope you enjoy. Cheers.
