Wow,thanks guys those are some fantastic ideas. Just curious though, are they on the schedule under the "find a flight" page in the pilots center? or routes we fly freely and get credit for? i assumed all routes in the airline must be ones the airline has published on that page, but then i check the MD-11 routes and there are none, so im a bit confused lol, any advice?

If you get a chance to get across the pond, I have found London City to be not only a very scenic but also somewhat challenging approach (fly right through downtown London and the glideslope is set at like 5 degrees so it's pretty steep)...plus its a short runway. Another one that was pretty exotic in location and was an interesting approach was to Conakry in Africa. You fly right alongside a mountain coming in across the beach on final. Pretty cool approach. There are dozens of others and also, if a place doesn't show up on the route, you can always put in a request to do a charter flight. I've got several approved that I am in the process of flying now in Central Asia that have some pretty cool approaches.

Also, you can fly any flight in the schedule and not only the MD-11 flights. The equipment must be able to legally make the flight with reserves. I have been having a lot of fun with the B737-800 flying cross-country in Australia. Nice scenery, mountains, deserts, over water flights, down under has it all and it is great to get the Australian accent with the ATC on VATSIM.
