Hi!

Thought I'd upload a few pics (or try to!) of a flight I just flew with a French GA aircraft (the Robin). I remember Ranger Creek from Fs2004 addon by Georender but I never remember it being this hard to land at. I overflew the runway at about 1000ft then ran out of room, turned around to try to land back, was way too high. So overflew the runway again, turned around in the valley opening I had read about online to the North and landed very high on my originally intended runway 12. Phew! Good job the runway is long!!

Anyway the pics if interested..

Aircraft is freeware and the scenery is Orbx PNW!

Many thanks for looking (apologies if there are too many pics for forum rules),

Pierre

Cool airfield to sim-fly into Cool

"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"

Very nice shots, my kind of flights Cool

You'll find Packwood 55S nearby, just south of Mt.Rainier. It might be a bit easier to land on

Got bloom ?
Got mountains ?
Got damage ?

Nice. I have a friend who went hunting in Alaska a few years back and he had to fly on one of the bush planes to get there. Well it turned out that their pilot was a young woman and she took off and flew them up to were they would be hunting. SPUD said they came up on the place they were going to land. He told the pilot how are you going to land in there it was like down in a bowl. About that time she said like this and he said she banked the plane to the left so hard he was staring down at the trees right below them. He said she hit the mark and they landed safely. He told her as he left that if she was their pilot on the way out he wouldn't ask any more dumb questions. She was their pilot coming out too. He said that young lady could really fly that plane.

Very nice, but you are using the wrong plane thought Wink
