Cockpit details
MiGMan's notes
- Take off from
Heathrow Airport in MSFS 2002
in London (there is another Heathrow in the USA) and fly EAST - heading 090 degrees.
- Follow the Thames River and there is plenty to see!
- The Millenium Dome looks spectacular at dawn or dusk - apparently it's on the wrong side of the river though.
- There are a few bridges to fly under.
- On the left you'll see an elaborate dockyard with cranes and shipping.
- When you reach the mouth of the Thames Estuary climb to 10,000 feet and check out the complex waterways.
- Turn back to the West, heading 270 degrees
- Follow the river
- A few miles past the Millenium Dome and you're back at Heathrow! Flight over!
