NOTE: For those of you who don't prefer MSFS "missions" per say, I have included the flight plan (both LNM and MSFS version) on which this bush trip is based. Additionally for the more advanced flyer who might want to try to manually navigate this trip, I have included a sky vector static map link route.  Try your hand at dead reckoning methods and marking land marks to ascertain your position. (But make sure you grab your watch or E6B just in case: don’t want to get lost!)
