Leg 10: Thompson Falls (KTHM) to Felts Field (KFSS) | KGNB-PAJN Cessna 172 Prepar3d v5.1 Orbx
It's not the greatest weather for flying on this May 9th 2021, but the cloud ceiling is high enough we should be able to find a path in between the mountains and the clouds on our way out of Montana, over the Idaho panhandle, finally entering into the Pacific time zone and into Spokane, Washington. There is a smaller airport just west of the International airport so we don't have to bother any of the larger traffic that comes with class B airspace. Felts Field is available from Orbx too as an airport addon, so let's go check it out!

Leg 9: Missoula International (KMSO) to Thompson Falls (KTHM) | KGNB-PAJN Cessna 172 Prepar3d V5.1
We'll be completing another leg of our trip to Juneau today, May 2nd 2021. We left off at Missoula International in Missoula MT, and today should be a fairly quick trip through the valley to the Northwest to Thompson Falls. The cloud layer is just high enough we should be able to have just enough room to skim the mountains without violating the cloud separation rule of 500 feet below the clouds, but we won't know until we get up there!

Leg 8: Deer Lodge City County (38S) to Missoula International (KMSO) | KGNB-PAJN | Prepar3d V5.1
This is leg number 8 of the trip from Granby, Colorado to Juneau, Alaska - in an A2A Cessna 172R, in the Lockheed Martin flight simulator program Prepar3d v5.1. This Cessna 172 was won in a raffle through an FSEconomy group called North Texas High Flyers on December 2nd, 2020, and I decided to document the nearly 1,700 mile trip from Colorado to Juneau.
This evening, although it's almost nighttime, is some of the best flying weather we have seen so far... so we must take advantage of it. I double-check the fluids, blow the dust off the engine with an air hose and inspect all the fittings, and put a nice coat of carnauba wax on the windshield in anticipation of the flight ahead.
We are about 600 miles in on this 1,700-mile journey, slowly making our way through the northwest United States. It's beautiful country up here and the scenery from Orbx is pretty highly detailed.
A note on the audio, this is the very first recorded flight on this new system, during testing I failed to test with the engine running, and it's sound is being piped into the same channel as my mike is, a simple mistake that is already fixed for the next video, the audio is not the best but I already landed and updated with FSEconomy that we are at Missoula, so we just have to live with it this time!

Leg 7: Bozeman (KBZN) - Deer Lake City (38S) | PAJN - KGNB in a Cessna 172 - Prepar3d V5.1
Today the weather is perfect for a 100 mile VFR flight from Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport (KBZN) to Deer Lodge-City-County Airport (38S). The elevation at Bozeman is 4,473 above sea level, and Deer Lodge City is slightly uphill at an elevation of 4,693. After takeoff, we'll be heading to the MANNI NDB (Non-Directional Beacon) and then down to the RANCR intersection the TEERX intersection, over the HIA and CPN VOR's, and then heading north through the ZISON and AYUNO intersections until finally landing at runway 31 at Deer Lake City.

Leg 6 - Yellowstone (KWYS) - Bozeman Yellowstone Intl (KBZN) | KGNB - PAJN in a Cessna 172
It's another great day for flying in northwest Wyoming this March 27th 2021. Today we are departing Yellowstone airport (KWYS) heading north towards the Livingston VOR, and then we'll be following a mixture of the RNAV A and 30 approaches. These approaches are normally for the faster planes and jets that are flying at a more significant speed than our trusty new Cessna 172, developed by the A2A Simulations crew, but it's still educational and fun to follow the proper flight paths. I wasn't recording the ATIS channel unfortunately but it shows the text on top.

Leg 5 - Jackson Hole (KJAC) - Yellowstone (KWYS) — KGNB - PAJN in a Cessna 172
There is finally a break in the weather in northeast Wyoming today. A 5,000 foot ceiling is plenty for a VFR flight up to Yellowstone (KWYS). We will be flying north from Jackson Hole airport (KJAC) skirting the western edge of the national park. The winds are out of the south so we will be swinging in from the north on a RNAV 19 approach.

Leg 4 - KGNB-PAJN | Miley Memorial to Jackson Hole - KBPI-KJAC
There is a break in the weather this Tuesday morning, February 16th, 2021, in beautiful and barren western Wyoming. Good enough to finish the fourth leg of our, at least, seventeen hundred-mile journey from Granby, Colorado (KGNB) to Juneau, Alaska (PAJN). Today we start where we left off a couple of weekends ago, at parking position 2 at Miley Memorial Field in Big Piney, Co (KBPI) - and we will be headed up to one of the most popular airports in the middle of nowhere, Jackson Hole. We start off in some beautiful VFR weather, but there is a winter storm quickly creeping in, and the weather in Jackson Hole is jumping between Visual Flight Rules (VFR) and Marginal VFR (MVFR) every fifteen minutes or so... can we make it before we are in the midst of a winter storm in full blown Instrument Meteorological Conditions (IMC)?
Another interesting aspect of this flight is that we are entering into Orbx scenery (NA Central Rockies). So we'll be heading out of the dull and boring Prepar3D scenery, and into some better and more detailed graphics. We will be flying at twelve thousand feet over eleven hundred foot mountains, so we should get a pretty close look! I have also acquired the Jackson Hole Airport scenery as well, so the airport should resemble somewhat what it looks like in real life.
In real life, there is no way I would venture into this type of weather without an instrument rating on a private pilot's license... but I'm comfortably sitting in an office chair in my nice warm house so let's do it!
Disclaimer: I am not a real pilot, even though I am studying for my pilot's license, I have very limited real-world experience navigating and commanding a real airplane! This is for learning and simulation only!

Short Flight from Snettisham 7AK2 to Juneau PAJN in the A2A Cessna 182
Here we're doing a quick 45-mile solo flight from Snettisham, where our hydroelectric power plant and a salmon hatchery is located, 30 miles south of Juneau. I flew some passengers down in this Cessna 182 last month and decided to fly it back to Juneau and see if I can make some money flying it around for a little while (until someone else rents it and it disappears!)

Leg 3 - KRKS - KBPI (Rock Springs, WY to Miley Memorial, WY) KGNB - PAJN Cessna 172 - Prepar3d
Here we go leg 3 from Southwest Wyoming RGNL (KRKS) to Miley Memorial Field (KBPI) on our way up to Juneau, Alaska from Granby-Grand Colorado (KGNB) -- This trip was on January 30th just before sunset, using real world weather with Active Sky and flying with others around the world in Vatsim. This is just a short 75 miles trip today, into a headwind.

Leg 1 - KGNB-PAJN: Granby Co. [KGNB] - Shively Field, Wy [KSAA] A2A Cessna 172R
It's January 2, 2021. Join me in my (simulated) adventure across the Northwest Pacific, flying from Granby, Colorado (KGNB) all the way to Juneau, Alaska (PAJN) in a Cessna 172! Today we will be completing the first leg of my trip from Granby-Grand County Airport to Shively Field in Wyoming (KSAA). I am flying in Vatsim on an IFR route, however unfortunately (maybe fortunately?) there are no controllers. So I am VFR on a VOR IFR route.

Leg 2 - KGNB PAJN in an A2A Cessna 172R - KSAA Shively Field, WY to Southwest Wyoming Regional KRKS
We fly our second leg of the trip from Granby, Colorado to Juneau, Alaska. The weather is perfect for a VFR flight on this January 16th 2021. I've made some adjustments from the last video so hopefully, this trip is a little more enjoyable. I am just beginning the Rumble journey and enjoy constructive criticism so if you have any comments, concerns, complaints if you like these or not let me know!

Intro: KGNB - PAJN in an A2A Cessna 172R - Prepar3D FSEconomy Vatsim
I'll be documenting the journey up the pacific northwest in an A2A Cessna 172 from Granby, Colorado up to Juneau Alaska. This 1,700-mile journey will be in the Prepar3d Flight Simulator with real-world weather from Active Sky, and will be on the Vatsim network so I'll be communicating with other pilots and air traffic controllers!
