  1. Fantastic images and some breathtaking scenery. By the look of things a great place to fly, once the gouge marks have been filled in on the runway.
  2. Splendid set Adam and I hope you didn't put your back out speeding along that flat runway!
  3. I am more than happy with this excellent news with something here for everyone.
  4. Yes indeed, well done. Part of our Pearl Harbour tour was a visit to the museum but we didn't have a lot of time to look around. The airport here on Ford Island closed in 1999 but you can still land here in the Orbx Honolulu scenery!
  5. Looks a bit like 2B2 Plum Island! There again you said it probably wasn't an international airport but it reminds me of Honolulu.
  6. Not here Gerold but I did a flight around Vancouver and another at Juneau, both in Turbo Otters on floats! We did see Denali/ Mt McKinley both from the train and on a day trip the next day.
  7. Well done, yes indeed it is PATK. The photo was taken from the train on our way from Anchorage to Denali. A nice change to see Otters on wheels and skis after the floatplanes in Victoria and Vancouver!
  8. This is the location if one of the excellent freeware airports form the Global Airport Pack. It is not as difficult as it appears and a bit of detective work should easily solve the location.
  9. Thanks gents and that must have been a wonderful place to visit and see all the Qantas history. It sounds like you had a great trip and there is so much to see in the vast remoteness of the outback and it is a real eyeopener to those from more inhabited parts of the world. I had only been here for 2 years when I did a camping bus trip to Ayres Rock and it was an amazing experience. I will try and find a photo later tonight for the next airport.
  10. I would imagine it is the Qantas Founders Outback Museum at Longreach.
  11. A good point Graeme. My eyes were immediately drawn to the cranes and also I had two occasions at Brisbane last year when I used the stairs instead of the jetways! Just looking at Google Earth, the cranes do appear to be in the right area and also there are some trees around the loop at the end of Acacia Street which looks like a handy place to park and watch the planes!
  12. Looks like I have been beaten by 4 minutes Graeme, exactly what I was going to say!
  13. Excellent views and I like the distant scenery having more detail. You really missed a chance with her in red as instead of looking the other way as she struggled into the cockpit I would have given her a hand...………...or two.
  14. It is easy to see why you are hooked in this scenery, glorious images.
  15. Thanks for reminding me Gerold, I had completely forgotten. As we flew in over the airport this is the best snap I could find.
  16. A wonderful airport to enhance the Keys. What an exciting time to be into flight simming!
  17. Thank you Scott, I have only ever driven past on the freeway but as you said there were a few clues.
