Post Around the World trip
Welcome to my "Around the world" tour in a Canadian Airforce military plane - CP-140. For those that don't know, I always harped about how epic Japan is, rarely doing the same to Canada. I thought I'd show my patriotic side of Canada and do a world tour in a Canadian skinned plane.

I never really did a proper tour in previous flight sims and will aim to do so now. I hope you enjoy my first Flight Sim tour around the globe :).
Want me to stop off somewhere? Do let me know and I'll try. Also, if you want bigger images then do let me know and I'll link them under the image. I don't have an image re-sized plug-in on this forum.

(Will fix the above grammar in another edit.)

Side Notes:
- All real time or else it would ruin the experience. I did it before on many occasions and it only ruined the atmosphere.
- I flew the CP-140 freely up until Vancouver to Hawaii due to the vast distance. I turned on Auto-pilot on for the pacific route.
- I turned off "unlimited fuel" to allow the added realism incase I do fail to reach the airport or similar. Those are the best experiences in FS.
- I have add-on scenery and AI planes added into my FSX world.

Was a nice smooth flight and I think I saw a city that look like it came from the Anime Noein. When I was preparing to land there were quite a few moments were the wind sheer pushed the plane to the right about 2 meters. Landed in Nagoya after gliding across the runway since I was being distracted.
