Of course, we couldn’t just visit it from above, so another flight fast and low was in order to check out the Grand Canyon.

We picked the quick and nimble Daher TBM 930 and flew over the Canyon’s southern rim after taking off from Grand Canyon National Park Airport. Then we followed the twists and turns of the rather terrifying (but awesome) course of the Colorado River all the way to Glen Canyon Dam to land at Page Municipal Airport.

You can check out the whole flight below.

Proud weeb hailing from sunny (not as much as people think) Italy and long-standing gamer since the age of Mattel Intellivision and Sinclair ZX Spectrum. Definitely a multi-platform gamer, he still holds the old dear PC nearest to his heart, while not disregarding any console on the market. RPGs (of any nationality), MMORPGs, and visual novels are his daily bread, but he enjoys almost every other genre, prominently racing simulators, action and sandbox games. He is also one of the few surviving fans on Earth of the flight simulator genre.
