Kyler,

BTW, I take issue with this.
Around each airport there is a region of airspace from which
an airplane can safely glide to a landing. We refer to this
space as the Cone of Safety.
My wife likes to point out that there was a time when landing at an
airport was the exception - certainly not a requirement for a safe
landing.


I agree. Might generate the wrong mindset. OTOH, when you look at their
screenshots, you have this nice effect of being at 8000 in the
northeastand all the cones nicele overlap to make the whole flight path
within reach of a field.
