Bermuda425 Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Some excellent landclass to admire! I guess there's quite a bit of route planning for you to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Sawyer Posted October 16, 2016 Author Share Posted October 16, 2016 Thanks guys! My partner in FS Economy does all the routing. It's a fun way to fly in the sim. We use Orbx everything, especially SAK where we're based out of. You earn virtual $ for hauling people and cargo and then there's things like this, ferry flights. Either for hire like this one is, bring this DO-228 from Alaska to Australia, or we buy one and ferry it from wherever it is to Alaska. In between these FSE flights I do a lot of exploring. Like right now I'm making a 300+ mile flight further south in the Philippines but after this flight I am treating myself to KPSP! It's downloading as I type! Loving me some Orbx.

bernd1151 Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 What a wonderful trip in my second home, Jack. Lake Taal and the area surrounding it (Tagaytay) is really beautiful and a favorite get-away destination for the Manilanos. It’s just an hour drive from Manila. The following pics were taken by me in Feb. of this year. Unfortunately we had some overcast, so they didn’t come out too well Btw, the mountain you were referring to is Mount Malepunyo, an extinct volcano and some 3,200 ft high.

Jack Sawyer Posted October 16, 2016 Author Share Posted October 16, 2016 Thanks for naming that "mountain" Bernd! And those photos are beautiful, I'll bet it's a beautiful place to live. My friend in the UK who is my partner in FSE is married to a Philippino woman and she's extremely beautiful. He told me there's something like 2700+ islands there? So you live there? Or did live there? I wish I could travel to even a tiny percent of the places we all go to in the sim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bernd1151 Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 RPUW, you know that of course, is Marinduque. Fly further south, pass by Romblon (very nice too) and eventually you end up in Caticlan, airport to one of the most beautiful islands on earth: Boracay. I think I have done that trip from Manila to Caticlan in small commuter planes at least 70 times in over 25 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lived there till 2011, but I go back once a year for at least 4 weeks every time, because I have too many friends there. And to those places we cannot go in person, we are now lucky to visit them at least in our sim. I know, it's not the same, but at least, it's a start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if my route will take me there but it's something to save for further flights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
