Just before Rock Springs I noticed I was flying over the Greater Green River Intergalactic Airport (48U). I wish I had noticed that name in my flight planning. I could have landed there and logged a leg from 48U-CFO. Suborbital, of course.

Greater Green River Intergalactic Airport, Wyoming

That would be the Greater Green River Intergalactic Spaceport! Definitely would be fun to log a leg from there to CFO. :rofl:

And yes, they really do let you name an airport anything. Clow "International" for example.
 
Fantastic pictures and descriptions! Thanks for sharing.
 
Enjoyed it very much. Inspirational. Hmm...where would my Rans S7 like to go this summer?
