VH-KDK Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 NOOOO, not that Norton Sound although is does sound how a motor bike should. No. THIS Norton Sound, in Alaska. Just visiting another of the wonderful Global Freeware airports, this time it is PAKK, Koyuk. 1. Starting up the magnificent CL-215. 2. PAKK sits at the head of Norton Inlet. 3. Norton Sound is an inlet of the Bering Sea. 4. James Cook discovered the area in 1778 and named it after the then Speaker of the House of Commons Sir Fletcher Norton. 5. The Yukon River flows into the southern part of Norton Bay. 6. With the Skysong A-26 Invader sound set my CL-215 sounds how an aeroplane should. 7. The Sound is free of ice from June to October, Norton Sound that is and not the engines. 8. Hope you enjoyed looking and once again thanks to Bermuda for making me aware I can now use the CL-215 in P3D also to Adam for his glass fix so I can now see where I am going.

Bermuda425 Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Absolutely breathtaking sequence of shotz mate! Now I know where the plane had gone after I left her in Fort MacKay I enjoy these shots particularly, because touring Canada's northwest there's few time for a visit to Alaska, so it's great of you to take over the part Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Adam, a great description of the old type of bikes. What a shock it was when the first Japanese ones appeared.

You should not have left it on the tarmac with the keys in the ignition No need to worry though as I will take good care of it. So many Global freeware airports to visit and some glorious scenery in between. On 19/06/2016 at 2:13 AM, PDX Flyer said: Very funny and creative way of introducing your shots. Kudos to you Sir!

The old bikes are just like the old radial engine planes. Long gone but not forgotten, a great era in some ways. Thanks so much for your great comments, I appreciate them as always.
