Goodly afternoon all...

Thought many of you would like to see this:

http://www.alaskadispatch.com/article/bush-pilots-greatest-fear-getting-eaten-gr...

Now many of you think you are safe from being eaten by a grizzly-bear while doing your simulated bush flights on the electronic gizmo.

Something even more terrible could happen after you post your flight right here at Simviation...oh yes... Shocked

I hear they have a herd of moderators who take you down to their den and cover you in marmalade all the while drinking from their private bar... Roll Eyes

What happens to the poor Simviation Bush Pilot no one seems to know...I guess they are never heard from again... Lips Sealed

Nope it is not even safe to fly simulated bush flights some times... Huh

Going for my afternoon nappy now... Grin

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

Great video Doug.

But did you follow the youtube link in the article and watch some of the other videos the photographer did? If not, you need to.
Especially Alaska Bush Planes.

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

Considering it was only 360p, the quality was amazing. The one on Alaska Bush Planes was higher and had some absolutely gorgeous scenery.

I was suggesting that MS Flight is using his video, in jest. And yes its beautiful footage!

That guy's got great zoom ratios at about :50 seconds!

I went outside once. The graphics weren't all that great.

Burn the land and boil the sea, you can't take the sky from me.
