I am currently embarking on an around the World trip from my home town in Newcastle, England, UK, (EGNT) and back again in 'real time' and trying to do it in one and a half hour hops (max) where possible, (great big oceans permitting 
! ) taking in as many great cities as I can.
Thus far my Itinarary has been as follows:
1. Newcastle - London (Heathrow)
2. London (Heathrow) - Paris (De Gaulle)
3. Paris (De Gaulle) - Madrid (Barajas)
4. Madrid (Barajas) - Lisbon
5. Lisbon - The Azores (Lajes)
6. The Azores (Lajes) - Bermuda (INTL)
7. Bermuda (INTL) - New York (JFK)
8. New York (JFK) - Washington (Dulles)
9. Washington (Dulles) - Toronto (City Centre)
Anyway, for those interested here are a few pics from my most recent leg of the trip:
10. Toronto (City Centre) - Chicago (O'Hare)
A tiny little runway, and I just scrape off the ground at minimum speed before the end of the runway and certain watery death!
Man I love Toronto, hope to visit again soon (for real this time!) 
See that tiny runway!
A little detour over the Motor City!
Beautifull Lake Michigan......
Welcome to the 'windy city'.....where erm...theres no wind today as I set the weather to calm!
On approach to O'Hare ILS 32R....man this airport is HUGE!
Touchdown! not the greatest while fretting over a screenshot but done the job!
Finally, we've made it, The British and my Canadian friends invade America!

I live near London, and I've done a few round the world trips ib both directions all in real time. Really makes it more worthwile imo. Great fun flying somewhere different from time to time too.
I loved landing at Syndey Kingsford Smith, I've always wanted to get there in real life!
Currently I tend to cross the pond to KJFK and back when I have a few hours free.

Yeah I find real time is much more rewarding, thats why I am trying to keep my flights short so as to not bring on boredom.
The longest flight thus far on this trip was from The Azores to Bermuda, took me about 4 hours!.......it can drag a bit!, luckily I can browse the web and listen to some music whislt the autopilot does the donkey work!

Ha ha, I was looking for an airport to land at and I saw this little strip on the water right next to CN Tower and I thought it would be a good challenge to land there!

Ready to go, my wallet is extremely light after a weekend in Vegas! 
Leaving Las Vegas
On approach to LAX ils 6L
A nice landing, wow that thing looks like a space ship hovering over LAX

My original plan was to land at Pearson Intl but I just fancied something off the 'beaten track' so to speak!
lol
VERY nice Pulp1!!! Its so amazing how you can see places several times and then someone captures it in great lighting. I'm talking LA in your shots. Maybe I've not landed there in the dark.
I also like the climbing out shot at Toronto's City Centre airport. Thats where I learned to fly helicopters for the first time (sim only).
Thanks for sharing!
Great shots again, a nice varied choice of airliners!

14. Los Angeles (LAX) - San Francisco (Intl)
A pretty un-eventfull flight.
15. San Francisco (Intl) - Honolulu (Intl)
On a rainy overcast night in San Fran (real world weather), I head out into the wilds of the Pacific Ocean and say goodbye to the US of A by doing the customary flight under the Golden Gate Bridge!
After a four and a half hour (real time flight) I finally touchdown in Honolulu!

By the time I reached the Chinese coast it was getting foggy but by the time I swung into Shanghai visibility was non-existant!! 
what a scary landing I could only see the runway at about 1nm.
Nice shots, now i know i drink a lot, but are'nt those Virgin Atlantic textures the wrong way round

20. Shanghai (Pudong) - Hong Kong (Intl)
On approach to Hong Kong 7L, I had a funny feeling about this landing....
JEEZ! At about 400 ft I do a double take.... and YES that is an Airbus sitting right on my runway ready to take off!!!...so I do my best to land over his head!
This is the most amazing landing Ive ever had, the Airbus nearly runs straight into the back of me on takeoff!! 
Thankfully I've made it and the passengers are blissfully unaware of how close they came to death....
Lovely shots and great AI at the airport, trying to figure out the aircraft though, is it a 7e7? Looks like a 767 but not quite if you know what i mean?

Very nice shots Pulp!

Decending over the Afghan mountains....I just hope I avoid any Taliban small arms fire!!
Damn you!!!! ATC is the bain of my life, sending me on a wild goose chase so screw you guys Im bringing this bird home by hand.
Not a bad landing under the circumstances Im just pleased to be out of those mountains, they were creepy...
Finally, I take my rightfull place alongside the mighty Afghan airlines (I think this is their only plane lol!)

Thanks everyone!, the KLM aircraft is just an AI aircraft unfortunatley!
My longest flight was San Francisco to Honolulu which was 2080 nm.
[quote="Pulp1"][quote="bawls327"] the KLM aircraft is just an AI aircraft unfortunatley![quote]
You fooled me, that's for sure. Never took a better look at it.
