02 Flying Illegally from Meigs, Chicago, IL to Beatrice, NE (well, that was the plan).

This is the second leg of a planned flight around the world, ignoring regulations, visiting various points of interest, navigating only by pilotage and celestial navigation. In this episode, we depart from the legacy Meigs airport, and start heading west. Of course, in order to continue west, we must fly through the "Gateway to the West" in St. Louis. This was flown using live weather--which caused some problems.

We also compare/contrast the graphics around Chicago from subLogic's Flight Simulator II from 40 years ago.
