Goodly afternoon all...

I was so impressed with "Patchz" Larry's flying ability to get into Cabin Creek, Idaho, United States Forestry Service (108) camp which he posted some wonderful shots here at:

Simviation Screenshot Showcase>Smokey by Patchz

I decided to call him and try and meet up....

Well he had to leave but said he would leave a bottle of Jack Daniels at the old cabin which I could not miss... Shocked

Although the Auster AOP.6 being flown in the pictures was not a true STOL Aircraft like her replacement the Auster AOP.9 by the defintion, she would get into and out of some pretty tight spots...

Click on pictures for better view...

Take-Off...you can see the bend in the runway Larry mentioned...

Flaps going up...eyes out of the cockpit...turning...

Approach from front office...

STOL Approach...Once committed to final I have my touchdown point fixed...keeping in mind approach obstacles...you can see the bend in the runway...

Down...Flaps UP...get the weight on the wheels...

Here we are...on the pad...
Old girl will check out the old building for Larry's present...
I will unload the tent and grub...

That was where we came from...made several take offs and landings...wonderful area...

Comments and Advice most welcome... Wink

Very cool Doug. The mountain mist really adds atmosphere to your shots.

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

Nice, Love the 2nd and last ones especially They look real Cool

. Oh and those trees, Are they like that in real life on are they just messed autogen like default Saba and St. Barths. Huh

Most people think that flying a plane is dangerous, except pilots because they know how easy it is.
Arguing with a pilot is like wrestling with a pig in the mud, after a while you begin to think the pig likes it.
