Route: Flights from DTW or MSP to the following airports:

ATW, GFK, STL, CVG, ABE, RSE and ASE.

Very cool. HJG has a great freeware FS9 model, but the QW payware looks pretty darn nice. Thanks Andrew!

I remember watching these things taking off from DTW back in the day - really tempting to give these routes a shot now smile
