The Excursion:
This trip is intended to be a low level coastal flight excursion for all of the sims: MSFS as well as FSX-P3D however in FSX-P3D might have to tweak an airport ICAO or two to match the sim’s airport table but the route contained in the flight plans will direct you to the correct locations of the intended lighthouse, airports and/or landing locations.   

This excursion covers 960 nm in 17 legs.
