INTO THE ARCTIC: Nippon Cargo KZ 11: Milan (Italy) ✈ Anchorage in Microsoft Flight Simulator

Join me on an ULTRA REALISM flight in the Nippon Cargo Boeing 747-8F from Milan, Italy, to Anchorage, in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020.

The route leads us across the picturesque Alpes Mountains, France, the UK, the Faroe Islands, Greenland, northern Canada, and Alaska, into snowy Anchorage.
