  • GREAT 48! Grand tour of US states. Week #21: Kentucky - FORD TRIMOTORS!


    Ford Trimotors through the BlueGrass State.



    Week 21: Kentucky
    KBWG>2I3>6I2>KLOU


    FLIGHT PLAN
    • All legs are VFR, GPS direct.
    • We'll fly server weather, not real-life, preset to fair weather summer.
    • We stay entirely within Kentucky, because KLOU has such excellent scenery.
    Download the PLN flight plan file here.
    Flight plan in tabular form, flight maps and airport diagrams here.

    CRUISE
    Speed: 90-95 knots
    Altitude: 2,000 ft

    AIRCRAFT
    Ford Trimotors only (as we used to fly sometimes on the Monday Mail Run).
    Download it from my OneDrive here: http://tinyurl.com/storm-trimotor.

    RESTRICTIONS
    Ford Trimotors only.


    WHICH VERSION, CLASSIC OR STEAM?
    We will be using Classic, not Steam. We will continue to use Classic in future weeks for the Great 48! until more critical add-ons are working, at which point we'll move to Steam.

    WEATHER
    This week we'll fly server weather only (NOT real-life).
    We'll preset it to fair weather at early August.
    (Please do not use Active Sky Next this week!)

    SCENERY
    Default OK.
    Highly recommended: FSgenesis US landclass (inexpensive payware).
    FTX Global 1.30 and Vector 1.20 good but optional (expensive payware).
    Vector users please see recommendations here.

    HIGHLY RECOMMENDED SCENERY ADDITION FOR FTX GLOBAL USERS
    You can download the whole series of freeware FTX global airport packs here.
    NA packs relevant for this flight:
    • NA pack 15 (final stop KLOU)
    KLOU is such good scenery, we'll stop here instead of crossing the border to Indiana (just 4 nmi away). Thus we'll start at KLOU next week.

        Reminder and trivia: Join us at KBWG in your Ford Trimotor for a 9pm EST departure.

        Trivia: How many of these local "points of interest"* (starred and numbered) can you identify? Answers and guesses during the flight itself please.



        * Yes OK, you may not find all of them interesting!
