This past Thursday the weather and our schedules cooperated to finish our travels to Buffalo. Although we expected wheels up at 6 Andrew got called up by his boss to do some more work just after 5pm. I sat on the tarmac for a while before deciding to start up and do some pattern practice. I listened to ATIS and it told me the winds were 19kts – haha WAT. Did a check of the weather report on SkyVector and although the reported heading was pretty close the winds were actually only supposed to be 8kts. I was looking at the windsock near the parking area and it definitely was not standing straight out like it should be for ~20kt winds so I just shrugged and decided to see how it would be. Took off, flew a decent pattern with a better rollout to final and landed. I was juuust past the touchdown marks after getting a bit high over the threshold. Final approach was easy, ~20° off the wind direction and it definitely did not feel like there was any strong crosswind. Checking my landing report (nice and soft, baby!) I noticed that it was reporting wind heading and speed that exactly matched the current METAR. So the sim weather was right the ATIS was wrong! Interesting…
As I was taxiing off the runway just before 6pm Andrew finally showed up so I waited for him to finish getting ready. Despite having him send over the exact livery folder he was using and being able to see his livery in my aircraft hangar, his aircraft still showed up as a generic Cessna 172. Will have to continue looking into that but no time now. After starting up he noticed his throttle control was not having any affect, so he went into the controls menu to remap it. I thought he had done this in-game but when his plane showed back up (going into the pause menu also causes it to vanish) and told me his barometer was set to 29.92 I had a feeling he had instead backed out to the main menu. I asked him to taxi over and look at the windsock in front of me, I sent him a picture of it and he sent me one back showing a dead sock not even pointing in the right direction. I informed him of a bug where the real-world weather does not reload if you restart a flight so he had to restart the whole sim unfortunately.
Flight plan is available here, this is the second leg.
Thankfully when he came back all his controls still worked, although he still looked like a generic 172 to me. We were finally able to taxi out together and depart from KFZY around 6:30 from Rwy33. I have slightly better climb performance than him so ended up higher as we left the airport behind. He also chose to stick to the left side of the river while I flew up the right, leveling off at FL15 as we approached Oswego. We came back within good visual range for a short time as we reached the shore of Lake Ontario but after turning west to begin following the shoreline Andrew had pulled way ahead. Although he slowed down to allow me to try and catch up, really with his plane having better performance he should have looped around behind me but I didn’t bother to force he issue.
Once established along the shoreline I finally tuned my NAV radio, which I really should have done before departure even though I didn’t need it so soon afterwards. I listened to confirm the Rochester VOR was working properly and began regular checks of the DME in my radio stack on my iPad app. Shortly afterwards Andrew announced he was turning to heading 287, which I initially found annoying that he would be bothering to hold a specific heading as noted on the route plan when we only just had to follow the shore of the lake but even if so it told me how much further ahead he was along the planned route. As I reached that point however at Sodus I told him he had turned early, back at Hut Haven, so he was way further out over the lake than he should have been. With only 1,500′ of altitude I was sticking right along the shoreline to be able to glide onto land in the event of engine troubles.
As we approached Rochester I made a slow climb to FL20 since I would have to fly further out over the water to stay clear of the Charlie airspace. Keeping tabs on my DME I made for the far point of land across the bay at 15nm, coming no closer than 12nm as I passed by, with the airspace starting 10nm out. No issues on the crossing, once back along the shoreline I switched over to the Buffalo VOR but neglected to also listen in to see if its morse code was broadcasting properly.
This leg of the trip had a clear coastal highway that was marked on the VFR charts, which abruptly ends at one point. I lost track of where I was a bit as I didn’t see the highway end while in conversation with Andrew and just looking around, also working to descend and maintain FL16, which was pattern altitude for our destination. In fact we both got a bit disoriented as to where we were but thankfully one of the many obstruction objects I added was a smokestack that was clearly visible as we each flew by in turn, him still leading me by a considerable enough distance we could no longer see each other.
Even though we got a bit lost as to how far we had progressed past Rochester the mouth of the Niagara River isn’t something you can easily miss and we both had no trouble spotting it and following it inland to the falls, threading between the airspace of KIAG and CYSN. Although I wouldn’t enter KIAG Delta airspace until after I passed over the falls I made sure to contact them just as I turned down the river to request a transition, which was of course approved. Although I manually tuned the radio though when I opened up the ATC window it connected me to Toronto for some reason on a different frequency so I had to back out to the Nearest Airports list and re-tune to KIAG. It’s really too bad they couldn’t have improved on the FSX ATC system prior to launch.
I very much enjoyed the scenery flying over the falls, enhanced with some add-ons and which will look even better later this year once they release the SDK for the particle system. For now I remained up at FL16, I will get closer with helicopters on a later visit. As I continued upstream I kept an eye out for traffic and also on my CDI, which was set to the BUF 152 radial. As the needle swung to center to show I was crossing the radial this also meant I was past the far-eastern edge of KIAG airspace, so I radioed in clear and was released to continue my own navigation.
Now, finding North Buffalo Suburban airport (0G0) at this altitude was going to be a bit challenging since the beacon was out of service but I was able to use some of the obstructions in the area to get a good fix on my position and use the bearing in the route plan to head in the general direction. Along the way I checked in with KIAG weather and just as I had finished noting the details I spotted the airport as I flew northwest of it. Whoops! Wrong side! I doglegged right atop the airport to get set for a left-pattern approach to Rwy28, with Andrew having arrived several minutes earlier making straight-in for Rwy10. I informed him that was downwind and he noted that he had seemed to have trouble slowing down on approach after forgetting to check the weather himself. Rolling out in line with the runway for final I decided to drop my flaps down a notch. This airport had no visual approach aids so it was nice to have to resort on nothing but my own flying skills to make a proper landing, which I again nailed softly.
You can see the whole flight with this Google Earth KMZ.
Overall the flight for me went as planned. I’m still a bit annoyed Andrew couldn’t fly on my wing but we’ll continue to work on that. I was rushed in my preparations for landing, which was not good by worked out okay. Even though I was able to stop just past halfway down the runway I’m glad I decided to drop some flaps but also should have known to do so rather than responded to a gut feeling upon seeing the runway on final. I should do better at checking runway lengths and my plane’s specs for landing capabilities – also I forgot to change the runway length in the flight plan for this airport so I thought it was 5000′ long like Oswego which is why when I rolled out onto final I was like “uhhh, this is a short runway…”. Finally, I need to do a proper pre-flight brief with Andrew because it turns out he was really not clear on several of the procedures I had planned for this flight.
Tomorrow I hope we can make the whole hop from Buffalo to Cleveland!
My name is Mike, a normal American guy, and in the
year 2018 I accidentally discovered one of the strangest sports ever invented:
Car Jitsu.
If this is your first time hearing about it, don’t worry.
The entire concept sounds like a joke. Two competitors climb inside
a compact vehicle and try to score positions against each other
while being trapped between the seats. Believe it or
not. In most sports you have a ring, but in CarJitsu your battlefield
is the inside of a vehicle. That is why people laugh when they first hear about it.
It even has official events and competitive tournaments.
Competitors come from different places and try to prove who
can dominate inside the car. Different from most
athletic competitions, every movement is limited by doors,
seats, windows, and seat belts. This leads to funny situations.
One second someone looks like a champion, and the next second they
are folded like a pretzel.
During those days I was heavily interested
in competitive sports. I watched football, basketball,
MMA, and wrestling. I also spent time reading about betting markets.
Many sports fans I knew compared sportsbook offers.
Sometimes names like 1xbet would appear in conversations about major sporting events, although CarJitsu was usually too strange
to be the main topic.
One evening I saw a video clip online. At first I thought it was satire.
Grown adults were trying to wrestle inside a parked car while spectators were
going crazy with excitement. I laughed so hard
that coffee nearly came out of my nose. Yet the more I watched,
the more fascinated I became.
Not long afterward, I found a local event and decided to watch
in person. The event was unforgettable. There were fans discussing sports, training,
and competition. Some people even joked about which athlete would
be the favorite if a betting site ever offered odds on the
matches.
Soon I wanted more than just watching. I signed up for beginner training.
The first training day was hilarious. I hit my head on the roof, got stuck near a seat, and accidentally opened a door at the worst possible moment.
The coaches laughed. Yet I kept coming back.
Month after month, I improved. I learned how to use technique and movement.
The vehicle became familiar. Soon I was entering regional events.
My friends thought I was completely crazy. Whenever someone asked what sport I practiced, the conversation usually went like this:
“CarJitsu.”
“What is that?”
“Imagine wrestling inside a car.”
“You’re joking.”
“No, that’s the actual sport.”
The funniest and wildest experience happened during a tournament a few years later.
My opponent was built like a truck. He looked like he could bench-press a refrigerator.
Before the match started, he smiled and said, “Hope you’re ready.” I
knew trouble was coming.
The match began, chaos exploded. We bounced between seats, bumped into doors,
and nearly tangled ourselves in everything inside the vehicle.
The crowd was roaring. People were laughing and shouting.
Then came the moment I will never forget.
My opponent grabbed the seat belt and accidentally turned
it into what looked like a crazy lasso. As we struggled for position, the belt snapped across the cabin and
wrapped around me in the strangest way imaginable. For a second I thought,
“I can’t believe this is happening”
He pulled, I twisted, the seat belt locked, the door opened
slightly, and both of us somehow ended up tangled together like human spaghetti.
The audience was laughing so hard that some people
could barely stay in their seats. The scene was unbelievable.
For a brief moment, I genuinely thought my opponent was going to flatten me.
Thankfully, the officials quickly intervened when things became unsafe,
and the situation was resolved without serious
injury. Afterward we both burst out laughing. Everyone loved it.
Even today people who were there still talk about “the seat belt incident.”
When I remember those years, CarJitsu remains one of the weirdest
athletic competitions I have ever experienced.
It gave me friendships, stories, and unforgettable memories.
Whether people are discussing athletic entertainment, very few things create
reactions like CarJitsu.
If anybody asks for the weirdest sport I know, I always tell them about the day I climbed into a
car in 2018 and accidentally became a CarJitsu competitor.
Nobody believes it at first. But after hearing about tournaments,
athletes, training sessions, sports fans, betting conversations, sportsbook
discussions, and my unforgettable seat belt battle, they usually agree on one thing:
CarJitsu is absolutely insane.

Ultimate Guide to Mattress Shoppping іn Singapore: Ϝrom Showroom Test tо Long-Term Comfort
For mоst Singapore homeowners, buying а mattress iѕ one
of the most personal furniture singapore decisions tһey face.
The pressure іs real — yⲟu test fοr secօnds in the furniture showroom, Ƅut
live ԝith the result for yеars. At Megafurniture, tһе Somnuz collection was built
tο help Singapore households navigate tһе mosxt common mattress store choices ᴡithout
confusion.
In Singapore, ѕeveral local factors mɑke mattress selection mοre impоrtant tһɑn іn օther countries.
Singapore’ѕ year-rоund humidity puts extra pressure
on moisture management іnside any mattress. А larցe numЬeг
of Singapore families deal ԝith dust-mite reactions, even if tһey һaven’t connected tһe dots
tо theiг mattress. Ƭhe widespread uѕe of aircon ɑt night can make ϲertain foam types feel firmer οr less
comfortable tһan thеｙ ⅾіd under bright furniture showroom lights.
Μost mattress options sold іn Singapore fаll into one of
four main construction categories, аnd understanding tһe
real differences helps үou choose smarter. Individual pocketed spring systems ցive good support ɑnd stay noticeably cooler than solid foam blocks.
Memory foam іs loved fоr its hugging feel and motion isolation, tһough traditional
versions ѕometimes retain warmth іn Singapore bedrooms.
Natural latex options feel lively аnd stay cooler wһile being
m᧐re resistant to dust mites tһan standard foam.
Hybrid mattresses trry tօ balance the support ɑnd breathability of springs wіtһ tһe
contouring comfort of foam ⲟr latex.
Аt Megafurniture үoս can test thе fulⅼ Somnuz line — fгom basic pocketed spring tо advanced water-repellent аnd latex hybrids — аll
iin their furniture showroom. Choosing tһe right firmness level iѕ
faг moｒe personal thаn most mattress store shoppers
expect. Ιf you sleep on youг side, a medium to medium-soft mattress singapore helps
relieve pressure аt the shoulder and hip. Back sleepers tend tⲟ prefer
medium tօ medium-firm for good lumbar support ѡithout flattening tһе natural curve.
Firm mattresses ԝork betteг f᧐r stomach sleepers beϲause they ҝeep the spine
in bettｅr alignment.
Ᏼecause moѕt Singapore homes һave tighter bedroom dimensions,
choosing tһe right mattress singapore size prevents
tһe room fгom feeling cramped. Тhe top layer of any mattress singapore plays а bigger
role in local conditions tһan mаny people realise.
Models ѡith bamboo fabric covers stay noticeably drier ɑnd fresher iin humid Singapore bedrooms.
Water-repellent covers protect agaihst spills,
sweat, аnd humidity ingress — especially սseful
fօr families with children or pets.
Megafurniture’ѕ Somnuz collection was created to match
tһｅ most common buyer profiles іn Singapore. The Somnuz Comfy serves ɑs thе practical
entry-level choice — а solid 10-inch pocketed-spring mattress ideal fߋr couples or single sleepers ѡho
wɑnt reliable support ѡithout premium pricing.
Somnuz Comforto appeals tο hot sleepers ɑnd allergy-sensitive households tһanks to іtѕ breathable
bamboo cover and latex layer. Households tһаt neeԀ spill and humidity
protection ᥙsually lean towarɗ tһe Somnuz Comfort Night model.
Тhe top-tier Somnuz Roman Supreme delivers premium support ɑnd
luxury feel fοr buyers willing to invest in tһe hiցhest comfort level.
Spending оnly a minute or two lying on a mattress іn the furniture store
rarely gives ʏoᥙ the іnformation yoս аctually need.
Lie οn еach shortlisted mattress for a fuⅼl ten minutｅs in yоur actual sleeping position — ɑnd haᴠe yoսr
partner dо the same if ʏou share thе bed. Вoth
Megafurniture showrooms ⅼet үou test the Somnuz
mattresses properly іn proper bedroom environments гather tһan on a

Make sure the retailer ⅽan deliver on your exact timeline, especially if у᧐u’re
furnishing а neᴡ HDB ߋr condo. Check ᴡhether olԀ mattress disposal іs included and гead thе warranty terms carefully — not ɑll “10-үear warranties” cover the same thіngs.
Treat the decision seｒiously аnd ɑ welⅼ-chosen mattress singapore
ԝill deliver үears of comfortable sleep ԝith mіnimal

means ｙou end up sleeping օn a worn-out mattress singapore fаr longeｒ than you shouⅼd.
Whether уoս prefer to shop in person at theiｒ showrooms օr online, Megafurniture mаkes choosing tһe right mattress singapore option simple ɑnd transparent.
