PIC map project

My 3 yr old daughter and I undertook a little project to make a pin map of all (in reality, probably more like the majority) of the places I have flown myself as PIC. Fun project and piece of man cave artwork - also gives me some targets for new places to go (Pacific Northwest, North Dakota, Wyoming, Nebraska, Mexico...)

 

Very cool! Did you count the pins?

 

I used 3 and 3/4 boxes of "approximately 50 pins" each. So I'd guess around 180-190... My logbook has 331 airports in it which is why it isn't all of them but with the map scaling, I just can't get enough pins in tight spaces to pin the dozens of airports in a tiny section of NJ that I flew into when I lived in NYC for example. I also have a few in my logbook that are in countries not pictured on this US/N. America map.

 

I’m offended. It sure seems like you’re intentionally avoiding us here in Oklahoma!

 

I promise it isn’t intentional! Same with Nebraska and Wyoming... something I will have to address.

Gatlinburg-Pigeon Forge. And the one below that is Macon Co, in NC. Because of the angle of the photo and the fact that the pin heads are >1/4” proud of the map, all the red balls look a bit higher up than where they are pinned.

 

I like the one in the bottom righthand corner. Bermuda Triangle? ;-)

 

Ha! The map doesn't quite go far enough... It's meant to be VC Bird Intl in Antigua - my longest day of flying in the slowest plane I've ever had (TAPA -> TJBQ -> MYLS -> KFPR -> KHTS -> KTZR or in other words, Antigua -> Puerto Rico (customs/immigration) -> Bahamas (customs/immigration) -> Florida (customs/immigration) -> fuel stop in WV -> back home to Ohio all in one long day at 170 KTAS)

 

Come to ND, it’s only 6 degrees here, days high I think and it’s been a fairly warm winter

 

Just make sure you fly to the upper corners of the map so it doesn't fall off the wall (RIP Mitch).

 

You've been around. Now to add some pins in Canada. BC is beautiful!

 

I have been to Toronto a few times but I guess that's barely in Canada!
