I know many of you already have Tongass Fjords but, I've been wanting it forever, finally got around to it

Just some shots of the first few exploratory flights

The depth of this add on is incredible.....I like it more than any other ORBX add on I've purchased.
There are tons of remote airstrips, Forest Service cabins, seaplane bases,and some 250 glaciers. Very cool, I should have bought this one first

Also, thanks to Patchz for the awesome Flying Wild Alaska repaint shown in #3: http://simviation.com/1/browse-Payware-61-0

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings. Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"

Great shots Chuck, last one looks real.

But for some reason, I tend to favor #3. Roll Eyes

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

As for the shots...number one for me... Wink

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

Happy flying, Greg Cool

Thanks guys

Doug, as far as the missing water rudder goes........the only thing I can think of is that it must have been made by the lowest bidder, or maybe they thought two rudders would be redundant Huh

The one with the Beaver and the glacier in the background is my favorite.
But as Patchz said, the last one is really cool as well, fantastic colors ! Cool

I plan to buy Tongass Fjords, together with OrbX PFJ, in a very near future

Got bloom ?
Got mountains ?
Got damage ?
