Alternative Flying in Second Life


While wandering around Second Life I found an airfield with free demo flights using a variety of different aircrafts (from bi-planes to balloons to hovercrafts). You can visit the location by clicking on this SLurl: Abbotts Aerodrome

Make sure to read the instructions on how to fly each particular vehicle or you may end up underwater or parked on the runway. There is also a skydiving area if you are so inclined.

Here's the a shot of me in a VTOL (Vertical Takeoff and Landing) ship hovering about one of the launch areas.

This really isn't much of an educational use but it was fun to fly around Second Life in a more conventional way :)
