So, here I am waiting for the off. Sun going down, not far to Bowerman but not much light left either

Away, and turned back towards the coast. Looks like an interesting bay around here, I'll have to come back and explore in more detail sometime

Turning north to head up towards Willapa Bay (thanks, Google)

Long Beach to my left. Definitely losing the light now

This spit of land starts out as Long Beach, and has Ocean Park at the northerly end

Lighting up time

Apparently, everybody down there thought so too!

Past the mouth of  Willapa Bay, heading across Grayland before turning right to coast down to Bowerman

This all feels ridiculously realistic

That's Westport below, and that means time to head in towards Bowerman

Couple of minutes later, and here we are, ready to land

First time I've ever landed square enough (and without bouncing) to risk taking a grab!

Hey - almost lined up straight!

Wonder if the cafe is still open?

Hey! I'm in luck!

Thanks for looking. I'll try and exercise a bit more restraint on the next trip (but hey, I grabbed a lot more shots than this, this is the edited version <grin>).

 

I know I keep saying this, but I can't believe how good this is all getting. The more I do this the more I find myself wanting to explore quite small regions in ever more detail. How on earth am I ever going to get round and see it all?

Wonderful shots Andy and the more of them the better.

I can take up to 80 shots on a flight and then have the job of choosing the ones to post, great fun.

I agree with you too that the FS experience is getting better by the day every day.

I think you will have to accept the fact that with the expanding ORBX world you are never going to see it all, just think OLC NA is just around the corner and then hopefully Asia, which I am really hanging out for:)

Gosh Andy, those are absolutely beautiful.  They look like paintings.  I think you have me sold on that plane too.  But the evening shots and the clouds really create a beautiful ambiance.  Thanks for the series, I enjoyed it.
