 The Teton Mountain range is surprisingly thin - really just a string of mountains running SW-NE. Flying fast jets down the steep valleys is recommended.
-== Wyoming - Grand Teton ==
+== Scotland - Edinburgh to Dundee ==
-Jackson Hole (KJAC) airport is located at around 6,400ft right next to the Teton range of mountains. The Tetons rise straight out of the plains, gaining over 5,000ft in 2 miles.
+Edinburgh Airport (EHPH) is located to the West of the city of Edinburgh and south of the Forth rail and road bridges. You'll need the w010n50 scenery and the lastest set of objects from the scenery DB which include a number of models for the Edinburgh area.
-You will need the w120n40 scenery.
+From Edinburh Airport, circle the bridges, then follow the coast on the south eastwards past Edinburgh (watch out for the Castle!) and to East Lothian and Bass Rock - a volcanic plug in the sea that is host to thousands of sea-birds. After circling Bass Rock, head back North, crossing the Firth of Forth to the Kingdom of Fife. There is a military airfield (Leuchars) on the coast here, but instead, continue North to the Firth of Tay, and Dundee Airport (EGPN). There is a VOR here (108.10MHz) if you get lost.
-Tower frequency at KJAC is 118.07. Due to the high altitude, you will need to lean non-turbocharged piston aircraft before take-off. Don't forget that take-off distances will also be longer.
-After take-off head to the North East. Grand Teton is the highest of the three peaks that rise straight from the flat-lands. Follow the line of mountains to the East, passing over Jenny Lake. After a couple of miles you will reach a huge lake. The large bulk of a mountain to the East is Mount Moran.
-The Teton Mountain range is surprisingly thin - really just a string of mountains running SW-NE. Flying fast jets down the steep valleys is recommended.
