Historic Flights
Since my purchase of the Lockheed Constellation (L-049), better know as the "Connie", from A2ASimulations, I've become more and more interested in early aviation history. Some interesting articles and some beautiful old footage made me decide to try to find out some more about those early routes.
In my search I stumbled on this site http://www.timetableimages.com (http://www.timetableimages.com) which contains a load of old timetables. These became the starting point of the formation of the historic tours I describe below.
So, if you're interested, pick up a classic aircraft and fly as they once did, VOR to VOR.
My first pick is from a timetable from SABENA Belgian airlines. Here's some reading matter: http://sabena.alpe.be/SabenaHistory.html (http://sabena.alpe.be/SabenaHistory.html)

The route in PLAN G:

Hope you'll enjoy this trip and if you have another suggestions, please let me (us) know.

Did cross my mind too, David. I'm planning to collect some more of these routes and hopefully we'll be flying these routes as a propionate event after the Red Crossing Germany.
