Kelowna - Kamloops - Squamish today:
@Marionettework I wish the FSimStudios Kelowna (or even a freeware Kelowna) had the night beacons used for landing positional awareness arranged around the airport pattern area. They are a very unique night feature of this particular airport.

Phoenix Sky Harbor to San Diego Lindbergh
Over Interstate 8, Dateland airport which despite being closed as an AAF in 1957 still has good runway and concrete parking, a series of developers have tried to turn it into a live at destination as recently as 2015
Approaching El Centro with the Holtville airport off the canard to the right, one runway is still active, the other gets used by SCCA and other auto racing events. I have a 1/2 hour of logged flying time in a RAF C130 thanks to an event I attended there!

The sand bar just West of Yuma AZ (on the CA side) is where my father and I would take our drag buggy in the early 1980's. The part South of I-8 is called Buttercup and the part much further North gets called Glamis, I've duned in both. Trivia fact, the Buttercup valley is where the Return of the Jedi desert scenes were shot. I would drive around the fenced and guarded set and Lucas actually tried to privately reserve the State Park over the Labor Day weekend to which he was told NO!
RNAV Y 27 Lindbergh, hand flown since I don't use the Working Titles GNS430 (it will negate the ability to use the GA on the flight director which I deem more important). -

There's a space exploration game in early access on Steam called Starship Simulator. On the command deck there is a conference room with a video screen where you can watch YouTube videos, so of course I settled in and put on our Starship's first look video from last year.

It is nice to finally see tail numbers in the SU3 beta again (I don't know how reliable it is yet, but it worked on the first try for me on the latest beta today).
Passing over the Putumayo River (one of the tributaries of the Amazon) at the intersection of Colombia, Peru and Brazil.

This has been my desktop background for like a month. I caught this amazing break between layers and it was irresistibly screenshot material, didn't even care if it crashed the sim.
Bonus front quarter shot
