Debrief 10/02/17: MSFX World Tour; Aageneys, South Africa - Cape Town, South Africa
Posted: Tue Oct 03, 2017 8:15 pm
Participating Pilots:
Laser - F-35 Lightning
Lurch - F-35 Lightning
VballJim - F-35 Lightning
Today, we departed from Aageneys, South Africa, (FAAG) and flew to;
Cape Town, South Africa (FACT) about a 281 mile trip.
That region of Africa is mostly desert plateau. We traveled mostly south along the coastal plain, but as we were nearing Cape Town, we observed a long ridge of mountains along the coastal plain stretching north and south. Beyond it to the west was a huge U-shaped, flat valley, bordered on the west by a vast mountain range. After the mission, upon checking Google Maps, it was noted that the mountain range and valley were depicted almost exactly by the scenery in MSFX. Real world weather was loaded.
