craigeaglefire Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 well guys, i mentioned to a friend i had acquired scenery of NorCal in the flight sim - & had been flying around San Fran... he, to my surprise, had actually lived in a place called Vacaville, CA - & openly wondered if it was modelled... my mission was to find it! well, Sacramento is the closest large airport... approaching Sacramento... & straight to Vacaville - via the HoloDeck Nut Tree airport to the right of shot... it is a small world - but, very interesting!

TigerTigerM Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 I have a Vacaville drag strip tee shirt, & have friends who live in Cool, Ca, which is North East of Sacramento, back in the hills. I think Paradise is somewhere around there too. TTM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommyh454 Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Back in the 70s-80s I was stationed at Travis AFB (C5 FE) and lived in Vacaville. I can't smell an onion without thinking of that place :)) There was a large onion processing plant in town that you could smell everywhere.
