The longest domestic leg of my Autumn travel report


Stillwater

Recommended Posts

From Pittsburgh I did some land transport towards Dayton, Ohio.

 

After a short hop in the morning from there I went with United out of Chicago...

... over Minnesota. The simulator showed the ground cold and white, ...

Nicely shown.

The meeting point of Columbia and Spokane River...

In the sim Seattle appeared as rainy as so often, ...

Awesome pictures, Gerold!

Thank you Lars. At least a widebody Boeing, though not your favourite one... ;D

Great shots and itinerary Gerold. :)

Thanks Karl. Itinary and routing came

a) by the work I had to do and

b) selected by United, but quite obvious on the way from O´Hare to SeaTac.
