What started as a bit of a “around the coast” trip to look at the scenery ended up being an around the world trip in short hops. I started this sometime in 2021 with a trip from Manchester Airport to RAF Valley, just to see what it would be like. Then I continued around the coastlines of all seven continents. See this communication for the start of the list. All airports landed at are listed in these communications:
- First one. Manchester to Nepal.
- Nepal to Russia.
- Russia to the Falkland Islands.
- Onwards to the Caribbean.
So now we have the final list of airports. From somewhere in the Gulf Of Mexico to Manchester.

And there we have it. All the airports visited as part of this around the world flight. It’s taken around two years but I feel a sense of achievement. The next thing for me to do is to learn how to use navigation aids rather than VFR. That’s my plan for the next set of flight sim activities.
