My Simulated Flights in 2025

Climbing away from Taipei in the 787-10
I've been flying with the X-Plane 11 and Microsoft 2020 simulators quite often this year, starting with the Douglas DC-3, then moving on to the Boeing 737-800, and more recently, a lot of flights in the Boeing 787-10. I'm still mostly adhering to my favorite way of doing this -- saving the flight after I land, and then picking up where I left off, to head somewhere new. I got overwhelmed with doing my usual verbose descriptions of each flight over on my VirtuallyAloft blog, so I took a break from that, and for the time being, I'm capturing my flights into a free account on the my.flightradar24.com website. If you click on that link, you will first see a world map, with all my recent flights overlaid on it. You can use the "Camera Controls" widget in the lower right corner to pan around, and zoom in and out on the map. You can also click here to see a tabular list of my flights
