"FederFlyer Short VFR plans are simple, short flights intended for beginner flyers, casual sightseers, ultralights and occasional flyers who have a limited amount of time."
Except the "beginners" label (simming for more than 30 years) that totally fits me. Thank you very much for highlighting some prominent (or sometimes even less prominent) places of the world. Your work is much acknowledged.

Thanks for the nice feedback. I have nearly 20 years of experience with a variety of simulators. A few months ago, it occurred to me that there were very few plans for beginners and casual stick-and-rudder flyers (which I am). So I thought I would do a few. MSFS provides a huge collection of things to see, and my "do a few" has become somewhat of an addiction. I have a long list of potential sites. I reject about 75% of the candidates because airports are too far away, the actual POI rendering is uninteresting, waypoints won't work, etc. But that still leaves a lot of interesting places to go. Stay tuned for more.
