94 years ago today, Amelia Earhart left Newfoundland in the Friendship to become the first woman to cross the Atlantic in an airplane (as a passenger). The aircraft was piloted by Wilmer Stultz.

Instead of tackling the Atlantic, today I settled for a little flight around the St. Croix River, on the Minnesota/Wisconsin border.

Spectacular! I feel like I somehow missed this plane. Could I ask what it is?

It is one of the variants included in the "Local Legend II: Fokker F.VII" product that Microsoft released back in January. It is available through the in-game Marketplace.

It is not a terribly practical aircraft when it comes to flying in the modern world, but I've always liked the looks of the Fokker F.VII.

Thanks!

Wow, for some reason the floats threw me…I guess ‘cause it’s not sitting on its, well, you know.

Despite it all, I love planes in the days before VORs.

As a consequence however, I DO spend a
lot of time lost! 🤪
 
this is great!,love it. another high bridge,ive seen planes fly under,people parachuting off,bungie jmping,and its a favorite for "jumpers" ,been on several recoveries under it...but "it" is the Foresthill bridge,auburn ca,not far off the end of KAUN,take off of 07,turn to the south a bit,you see lake clementine,Bowman, i80 ,the bridge is south of clementine (great dam there ) and in the confluance of the north and middle forks of the american rivers..gold country. kind of cool history,in the gold rush,the confluence and both rivers had been moved into large wooden diversion canals so the miners could dig the rivers,this left very large and deep holes in the river bed for swimming ,and large tailing deposits along the backs. one even most locals dont realise is "mamoth bar" on the middle fork east of the confluence ,i learned to swim there as a young child.
