I have been lucky enough to combine my love of aviation with my fascination with travel.  Through general aviation, I have personally landed in a number states and countries as you can see below:

Total Countries: 9 (Bahamas, Botswana, Canada, Cayman Islands, France, Germany, Mexico, South Africa, Zimbabwe)
Total US States: All 50!  (You can read about #50 here:

While wandering around, I have also come up with a number of favorite destinations along the way.  So I have created a custom map .that shows both the places I have flown as well as my favorite airports.  So far I have landed in well over a 200 airports!

Places I have been are simply blue pins.  Places that I would categorize as favorites are shown in some other icon:

• The fuel pump icons, are fuel stops that I thought were particularly good.
• The blue flags are particularly significant/memorable airports.
• The burger/soda icons have casual restaurants right on the field. (These are usually particular favorites for my kids).
• The fork/knife icon represents upscale restaurants on the field that I have enjoyed.
• The airplane icon simply means that there was something (or multiple things) about that airport that I liked.
