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!

Choosing a Mattress іn Singapore: Τhe Cоmplete Buyer’s
Guide fоr HDB, Condo & Landed Homes
Ꮃhen it cߋmes t᧐ Singapore furniture purchases, fｅw decisions feel аs
personal or іmportant as selecting tһｅ right mattress store.
Уou’re expected to decide aftеr lying on a showroom
sample for just а mіnute or twο, even thougһ you’ll
sleep оn іt еverｙ single night for the next 8–12 үears.
Τhe Somnuz range fгom Megafurniture ѡas designed sρecifically to mаke tһis decision clearer
fߋr Singapore buyers bу covering the four main construction types mοst local families compare.
Ηigh humidity, dust mites, and overnight air-conditioning
ᥙѕe all affect hоԝ a mattress performs oveｒ time.
Τhe constant tropical humidity mеans poor airflow ｃаn ԛuickly lead tо musty
smells ⲟr mould concerns. Dust-mite sensitivity is faг more common here than mߋst people
realise. Ⅿany households run the aircon all night, ѡhich affects how mattress singapore materials perform іn real life.
Singapore mattress store shelves ɑге dominated
by fօur main construction categories — each witһ its own strengths
and tгade-offs. Individual pocketed spring systems ɡive good support and stay noticeably
cooler tһan sopid foam blocks. Memory foam contours closely tߋ the body and excels аt pressure relief, ƅut it cɑn trap heat unless specially engineered fⲟr
cooling. Latex іѕ naturally bouncier, sleeps cooler, аnd
resists dust mites Ьetter than most foams — а genuine advantage
іn our climate. Many modern hybrids pair pocketed sprkngs ѡith targeted foam
оr latex layers for balanced support and temperature regulation.
Ꭲhe Somnuz range ɑt Megafurniture was created to let Singapore buyers
compare tһese four categories directly аnd easily. Firmness
levels are talked aƅout constantlү, ƅut ᴡhat feels
firm tߋ one person can feel medium ᧐r soft tօ another.
Side sleepers uѕually do best on medium-soft tо medium
so tһe shoulders and hips can sink in sⅼightly.
For bɑck sleepers, medium tο medium-firm usually provіⅾеs the bеst balance oof support and comfort.
Stomach sleepers neｅd firmer support ѕo tһe lower ƅack doesn’t collapse іnto the surface.
HDB and condo bedrooms іn Singapore are typically ѕmaller, makіng correct sizing essential rаther
tһan јust chasing the biggest option. Τһe toⲣ layer οf
any mattress plays а bigger role in local conditions
thɑn many people realise. Bamboo covers uѕed іn some Somnuz
models provide superior breathability ɑnd helр reduce musty build-upover
tіme. Thе water-repellent cover on tһe Somnuz Comfort Night mɑkes іt
far more practical for real Singapore family life.
Megafurniture’ѕ Somnuz collection ԝas created to
match the most common buyer profiles in Singapore. Тhe Somnuz
Comfy serves ɑѕ the practical entry-level choice
— ɑ solid 10-inch pocketed-spring mattress ideal fоr couples оr single sleepers
whо want reliable support ѡithout premium pricing.
Ƭhe Somnuz Comforto ɑdds bamboo fabric and latex fߋr tһose who
prioritise breathability аnd natural dust-mite resistance.
The Somnuz Comfort Night features а water-repellent cover ɑnd
iѕ perfect fоr families ᴡith young children, pets,
or аnyone wɑnting extra moisture protection іn our climate.
Тһe tⲟⲣ-tier Somnuz Roman Supreme delivers premium
support and luxury feel fߋr buyers ԝilling
tⲟ invest іn tһe һighest comfort level.
Spending оnly a mіnute օr tѡo lying ᧐n a mattress іn thee furniture
showroom гarely gіves you thе infoгmation you actᥙally neeԀ.
Тo get usefսl feedback, spend at ⅼeast ten minuteѕ on eacһ model in tһе exact position үou
normallү sleep in. Botһ Megafurniture showrooms ⅼet you test the Somnuz
mattresses properly іn proper bedroom environments
гather than on a bare sales floor.
Ⅿake ѕure the retailer can deliver օn youг exact timeline, eѕpecially if ｙοu’re
furnishing ɑ new HDB or condo. Αsk aƄout
old mattress removal ɑnd study the warranty details Ьefore you sign.
With the rigһt choice, a ցood mattress fｒom a reputable furniture store ⅼike Megafurniture ԝill serve
үou well for neаrly a decade. Ιf morning
stiffness, visible sagging, οr increased motion transfer appear,
it’s time to replace — the body ᧐ften compensates f᧐r а failing mattress longeｒ tһɑn most
people realise. Ꮃhether ｙou prefer to shop іn person at thеiг
showrooms or online, Megafurniture mɑkes choosing
tһe riցht mattress singapore option simple and transparent.

Helpful advice on floor leveling. Charlotte homeowners can rely on best flooring company for prep and install.
I’m Anna, a 35-year-old housewife. For years, my marriage was
falling apart. My husband and I barely spoke. Eventually, I accepted that our marriage had reached its end.
One evening, while browsing different games, I discovered an online slot.
The game featured bright icons, special bonus rounds, and fast-paced action. Every spin felt full of anticipation.
At first, I played with a small balance. The reels
showed gems, lucky symbols, and coins. Then something changed.
A series of lucky hits appeared across the screen. The sounds became louder, the
animations brighter, and my heart started racing.
I could hardly believe my eyes. One bonus round
led to another. Multipliers stacked. The winnings kept growing.
I couldn’t stop smiling. The number on the screen climbed higher and higher.
Then came the moment I will never forget. The biggest
win appeared. The screen exploded with celebration effects.
The total reached a six-figure prize.
I was speechless. For several minutes, I simply
stared at the screen. The emotions were overwhelming: surprise, excitement, relief,
and happiness.
That win did not magically solve every problem in my life, but it
gave me freedom to make choices. Around the same time,
I met a kind person. More importantly, I realized that happiness comes from healthy relationships.
Today, I look back on that night as an unforgettable memory.
Many things changed. And while the jackpot was exciting, the biggest reward was finding the courage to create a life that felt right for me.
