Upgraded the ol' iMac and took the 172 out in XPlane 12. I'm restarting my short jump tour, this time going across MA from Ptown to the Vineyard. Gotta say, XPlane 12 is very purdy. Check out those clouds, and the ship in the water off Cape Cod. Chef's kiss!

Back in the cockpit, started at Syracuse and decided to head to every Rush fan's favorite airport, Toronto Pearson. I managed to grease the landing almost perfectly, go me! Final shot shows me parked by the general aviation hangars.
