Around Australia in 12 Days -- Part 1 | In a Cirrus SR22 Airplane

Howdy. I've gone off and done something a bit unusual, in that I've hopped into a virtual Cirrus SR22 airplane and I've ended up taking an extended virtual trip around the circumference of the country known as Australia, which is also a continent. All from the comfort of my living room chair.

If you are interested in aviation, virtual scenery, or just like flying a sim-plane around, you'll enjoy this 2-part series. In this first part, I'll give you the backstory  of what cities and airports I flew in to go around Australia, all the way until the last leg of the trip is ready to fly in part 2. In that video, you'll come along with me as I fly from Brisbane to Sydney to complete the circle. 

Note: I'm using Xplane 12 to virtually fly. Because it is the only quality flight simulation that will also run on Linux (I'm using Solus on this machine) and that is pretty much what I use exclusively. I'll sort of use this opportunity to give my honest thoughts on it.

However, Xplane does not know about this video, nor have they gave me anything for making this video. I used them primarily because they were the  only one's who ran on Linux.  I  paid from my own pocket for the cost of using Xplane.
