Heh. Not always.

There's an unofficial route through the Newark class B that follows the
Garden State Parkway. I was shown this on my club checkride; I'd never
before heard of it, but it's a terrific way to get between the two
airports where the club keeps airplanes.

So we're on this route, and I'm staying *right* over the parkway. The
instructor finally points out that I don't need to follow the road
exactly. I remind him "that's part of the fun."

Using a computer game, though, I'd expect this to be as interesting
as...well...playing a computer game.
