Impossible I'm afraid. Commercial flights (IMHO) in bug smashers are scenics when you fly at various heights, speeds and directions in order to show the ground underneath or as direct and as quick as possible. I bet you won't do either! These things are a misnomer. Advice: lots of sharp pencils and learn how to read weather, both enroute and terminal area. Learn about low flying rules and know where to find advice about how to do weird and wonderfuls in Controlled Airspace, like scenics or photography details.
