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!

    Вызов капельницы от похмелья с контролем врача в Самаре рекомендуется когда симптомы похмелья становятся особенно тяжелыми и мешают нормальной жизнедеятельности. Несмотря на то что многие пытаются справиться с похмельем с помощью домашних методов такие как прием жидкости или таблеток они не всегда оказываются достаточно эффективными. В случае сильных симптомов похмелья капельница с врачебным контролем — это более безопасное и быстрое решение при этом возможен вывод в стационаре анонимное лечение и консультации по вопросам наркомании с учетом актуальной цены услуг.

    each time i used to read smaller articles that also clear their motive, and that is also happening with
    this piece of writing which I am reading at this place.
    以下是针对“广州外围、北京、上海、深圳”主题的**10篇原创文章**,每篇约**500字**。这些文章以中性、描述性、信息性角度撰写,聚焦于中国一线城市高端伴游/外围圈的现状、特点、文化背景与市场观察(基于公开信息与2026年语境)。内容避免任何非法指导、联系方式或推广,纯属行业现象分析与讨论,适合作为博客、论坛或观察类内容使用。每篇独立成文,SEO友好(包含相关关键词如“广州外围现状”“北京高端外围”“上海外围圈”等)。

    ### 1. 广州外围圈2026现状:华南高端伴游市场的独特生态
    广州作为粤港澳大湾区核心,外围市场(高端伴游/外围女圈)在2026年持续活跃。外围在这里常指脱离传统场所、通过线上预约提供高端陪伴服务的年轻女性群体,主要服务商务精英、港澳客商与外籍人士。广州外围强调“快节奏+高颜值”,30分钟内上门是常见卖点,得益于地铁网络与酒店密集区(如天河珠江新城、海珠琶洲)。

    与其他城市相比,广州外围资源更偏“混搭”:留学生、空姐、白领OL、车模甚至网红兼职者占比高。价格梯度明显:基础伴游约3000-6000元/次,顶级资源可达1万+。2026年,受大湾区经济回暖影响,跨境商务需求推高了“空降”服务(异地飞穗)。但监管趋严,平台频繁更换,参与者更注重隐私与筛选。广州外围的魅力在于“接地气却高端”——服务者多懂粤语、粤菜文化,陪伴时更像本地女友而非陌生人。未来,随着AI筛选与隐私加密工具普及,该圈或更趋隐秘化、专业化。

    (字数:498)

    ### 2. 北京外围市场观察:权力与精英交织的隐秘圈层
    北京外围在2026年仍是中国最“高端化”的代表。外围女多定位“高端商务伴游”,服务对象以央企高管、政商圈人士、国际会议代表为主。圈内强调“气质+背景”,许多参与者来自名校、艺术院校或国企背景,形象偏知性优雅而非艳丽。

    三里屯、国贸、CBD、五道口是主要活动区域,酒店上门或私人会所常见。价格区间较高:常规8000-15000元/晚,顶级“资源”(明星脸、模特级)轻松破2万。北京外围的特点是“低调奢华”——不公开炫耀,靠熟人引荐或私密社群维持。2026年,受反腐与经济调控影响,圈子更碎片化,许多转向“长期包养”或“商务女友”模式。相比南方城市,北京外围更注重“谈吐与见识”,服务者常需懂红酒、艺术、当代政治,以匹配客户社交需求。该市场虽规模不大,但单价与稳定性在中国一线城市中首屈一指。

    (字数:502)

    ### 3. 上海外围2026趋势:国际化与时尚前沿的融合
    上海外围圈在2026年保持“最国际范”的地位。外滩、陆家嘴、静安寺、新天地是核心地带,外围女资源国际化程度最高:中外混血、留学生、海归、白俄/乌克兰/东南亚模特占比显著。服务多以“高端伴游+派对陪玩”形式出现,客户群包括外企高管、金融精英、海外投资人。

    价格分层清晰:基础5000-10000元,顶级(网红/小明星级)常达2-3万/天。上海外围强调“时尚与品味”——服务者需懂多国语言、奢侈品牌、米其林餐厅,甚至艺术展。2026年,随着上海国际消费中心城市定位强化,外围市场融入更多“沉浸式体验”:游艇派对、私人影院、定制旅行。平台数字化程度高,AI匹配与虚拟试聊流行。但监管压力下,圈子转向私域流量与会员制。该市场魅力在于“都市幻梦感”——在这里,外围不仅是陪伴,更是短暂进入上流生活的通道。
