actually, it's 318 turns in 11 miles. :wavey:

i spent 9 days riding the dragon, and the blue ridge parkway, and the area surrounding in 2003. (devil's drop was wayyy scarier than the dragon)
best vacation i ever had. did you check killboy.com to see your photos? he posts cameramen in some of the corners to get pics, and he sells quite alot of them. he is called killboy because he was a cfs2 maniac. anyhow, if you were in the dragon, he's got your pic. you just need to know the date is all.
the time i was there 4 out of 15 of my buddies hung peices on the "tree of shame" :icon_lol: luckily though, no one got hurt.

That is a beautiful area to ride. Way back in about 1980/81 I took a trip down to, and through the Blueridge on my old 1970 BMW 75/5. Incredible ride...the most demanding though was through the 'back road' hills of WV on my way back to Ohio.....tired, and in the rain. Talk about twisting and turning, chilly, and wet. And no, my old BMW didn't have all those fancy fairings or windshield :p: I was mentally drained by the time I got back to a freeway for my boring finishing leg into Ohio....still raining :blind:

It's OK. Over the years I've flown this thing all over the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Caribean, and Central America. Sometimes it makes me feel like Darth Vader, though.

Don't give me a weird look, but I would kill for a job as a RJ driver...however, at least from what I've read from pilots from the US, it's not as good as it sounds.

The CRJ-200 is a dog, I stopped flying it about 5 years ago. The 700 and 900 have the performance, we cruise at .83 mach and can get to FL410 pretty easy.

Yeah, I heard that too. Especially the nonexistant climb rate at high altitudes...

FL 410? On all flights or only longer distance ones?

I'm asking because I want to make my FSX procedures for the CRJ7 a bit more lifelike. Right now, I'm usually picking a cruising altitude of FL320 or FL330 for all my flights (depending on direction), but this is just a guess at a real-life flight plan parameter.

When I was growing up, we had a family friend who was one of the priests (that tells my age right there) at our local church. He was a pilot and owned a Tailorcraft.

One day he crashed it while practicing an instrument approach. He has the church's janitor beside him as his safety pilot. The Bishop made him quit flying. afterward. :costumes:

Nice work at Eaglesoft Father Bill. The Citation X is one of my favorite jets. Just took it on a two hour flight today. I,m waiting for the "real FSX" Citation X to come out. I use the FS9 version in FSX works okay (have not upgraded). Has a few shiny spots in the VC but other than that works good.
