YSSY Kingsford Smith Airport
Botany Bay

Sydney at night in a Vought Corsair
- Breaking every rule in the book I fly under the Sydney Harbour Bridge, through a football stadium, and frighten the diners 60 floors up in Centrepoint Tower's revolving restaurant! Oh, and it's at night in a Vought Corsair, which Microsoft thoughtfully provided for us in every copy of Flight Sim 2004.
And then I land at Sydney International Airport... probably in the wrong direction... - airline_seat_recline_extraMicrosoft Flight Simulator 2004
