Same here Rodger. Sometimes several tries to respond to a comment. This one worked instantly.

Me. We had a TV much like Landon's. Only three channels. But my dad had a remote. Which was me. Have a great weekend guys. k

Thank you Wayne. Cheers Karl.

Thank you John. Cheers Karl.

Yes I saw your great shots of your flight. You bet we got beer left for you. Lucky for you though we no more Fish Haggis paste left. Cheers Karl.

Thanks Gerold. There is always a seat for you on the Mule flight. Yep all the boys and Hilda are grateful to Martyn's generosity or forgetfulness . Cheers Karl.

Thanks John. What is a mask?Stay safe my Friend. Cheers Karl.

Thanks Landon. Couldn't help myself. Cheers Karl.

Just after take off of returning the denizens of McCarthy back home to McCarthy. T-Bone says: "Hey Cap'n Karl Y'all realize them passengers of ours are all on a No fly list with them big airlines?" . Me:" Yep T-Bone ah do know that. Just think with out them being on a No fly list we wouldn't have any passengers at all. But we have what them big airlines don't got is our secret weapon also known as Hilda. That sweetie keeps them boys in check"." Ah man "T" I just love what y'all've done with them beer holders on gimbals. No more spilled beer on take off or landing. Although when I spilled my beer into that old throttle control it loosened all that "stickiness" nicely". "Hey Hilda your Cap'n and Co pilot need another beer please, will yer? and what the heck is going on back there?" Hilda comes with the beers and says: "Well Karl them boys found a huge stash of beer and hard stuff in a warehouse. They told them it was the private stash from a guy named Martyn who was here from Australia a couple of years back. Holy sh..inny Karl them boys are already deep in the bag and I better git back to entertain and make them some buns with a good schmear of Fish Haggis". OK enough. Look at the beautiful Orbx Alaska scenery. "T-Bone do I hear right them boys and Hilda singing Waltzing Mathilda? Gosh them boys all sound like the Aussie Airborne." "Y'all got that right Cap'n K must be Martyn's Aussie Moonshine he hid on us when he was here". Chitina, Ak to the left around the corner somewhere. We think. And in the meantime Hilda is doing a perfect Pirouette to the singing of Waltzing Mathilda. However, Hilda's elbow connected with Bubba' bald head with the force of 1600 psi, Bubba who is six foot eight without boots and towers over everybody whether he's standing or sitting down, made Bubba see the entire Milky Way in three most brilliant dimensions. His eyes popped out by three inches and he looks at Hilda and yells: "Ah always knew Y'all loved me my darling Hilda That "love tap" proves it. Oh boy. Chitina behind us. "Hey Hilda how's Bubba?" Hilda yells: "He proposed" . T-Bone says: "He must be del...r, delir.. outta his cotton pick'n mind" (lol yeah I know but he tries). OK Hilda we're just about feet down. Just enough time for the "just before landing beer" and checklist. Now old T-Bone comes back from the party and he is also somewhat impacted by that Aussie moonshine and announces: "Ssscuse boys an gals. We's ssjust about do put the gears down ( hic ssorry). Extinguish your beers and empty yea ashtrays. Thanks for fflying with us. "Ah there is the runway McCarthy in sight. "T hold my Z-gar while I bring her down. Love the gimballed beer holders. Great. Well just in time before the lights go completely out. Lol. And here we are. We all getting out of the plane and I ask: "How is Bubba?" And they tell me look at that everybody is looking at Bubbas back head and I don't believe it. Well I've heard of people seeing images in a piece of Toast, but this is incredible. Well here see for yourself what Hilda's elbow did to Bubbas head. Holy cow. If we would've landed in NZ, the Kiwis would be doing the Hop Scotch behind Bubba singing "Hi ho hi ho, OK mebby not that song exactly, but I'm sure something like it, don't you think? Well that's it. Thanks for coming along with us. Remember if you ever end up on the no fly list give us a call we even give you a free Haggis bun. On a serious note. All passengers are fictional (the real people of McCarthy are real nice and there is hardly any drinking going up there. That's why we don't live there). No airplanes were hurt and hardly any beer was spilled trying to (hic) type this load. Cheers to All of you Captains and happy flying till next time yours truly the Mule Team. k

Stewart BC in. Good luck to All. k

Thank you All for your Service.

Got a huge attaboy from my wife for being nice to my Mother in law. Beers.

Happy Birthday and all the Best.

Beautiful trip and shots Gerold. I love spiders except that reddish one. Happy Trails to you. Cheers k

Great shots John. I wish a was there instead of here in Langley. 36 degrees and stinking wet snow around . My Hummingbirds have tears running down their cute little faces and are wearing tiny snowshoes it would be funny if it weren't so sad. Stay warm and safe, cheers kes. It would

When a woman says "What"?, It's not because she didn't hear you. She's giving you a chance to change what you said. Have a great weekend. k

Very real looking shots John. Great night to you too.

Makes me think of the Police chasing speeders also makes me think: Red white and blue stands for Freedom except when you them colors in your rearview mirror in your car.. Great shots though indeed. k

Great topic Rodger. For me it's PNW (including the Rockies) and all the way up to Alaska and back south to California. Would love to see all of Alaska coverage for any sim. Have a great weekend and stay safe. Cheers Karl.

Great shots indeed. Beautiful area and a nice bird to fly with.

Mine from down Under. Not overly wild about that pub though. Cheers. k

Be kind and honest and believe in yourself. On the other hand: When my kids were teenagers I had a note on the fridge for them that read: "Teenagers leave home now while you still know everything"

A Happy Thanksgiving to my Southern Neighbors. Enjoy the Turkey and trimmings, but don't eat too much. Cheers k

Holy sh.. inny 74, never knew growing old went so fast. The only medication I'm on for now is beer. When I "feel more ill" I have a single Malt works like a charm. Gosh I should've become a Dr.. Cheers be safe love you all. Karl

All the Best Dave. Godspeed to you my Friend. k
