VH-KDK Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Blue Wave Energy Partners (BWEP) is an excellent freeware from RTMM and the first two parts have now been released. I took my first flight along the Trans Alaska Pipeline in a Cessna 172 the other night. Very impressive it was too. However after reading the BWEP page on RTMM and seeing some shots from Oldendirt I realised that a chopper would be the best way to view the pipeline, or so I thought. Then along came Gerold and suggested the paramotor. 1. Got the Gopro set up and a full tank of fuel so lets go. 2. The Valdez Terminal, a lot of extras added in the RTMM package. 3. A close up of one of the control towers. 4. A view down Port Valdez, looks like a great day for flying. 5. Dayville Road and the end of the public road. 6. First view of the pipe line. 7. Approaching a small refinery. 8. 9. Back into the forest, will have to keep a lookout for bears. 10. Passing Robe Lake. 11. Yes that is the pipeline in the distance up the mountain side. 12. Crossing one of the streams that flows into the Lowe River. 13. A pump house just before the climb up the Chugach Mountains. 14. What do you think? 15. Made it. The Paramotor is the ideal way of flying along the Pipeline, great suggestion Gerold. Here is a link to the RTMM BWEP page for those that may be interested. http://return.mistymoorings.com/bwep/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stillwater Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Yesss!!! Not only did you do & survive that flight, you also created great shots. A simple "thank you, mate!" is not enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is only half of my first leg, I will try and put more up later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Sawyer Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Martyn that was one of the most amazing things I've seen here in a while. I loved it! I love the way people here can be so creative in their flights with all kinds of cool ideas that mimic real world. I'm never dissatisfied with what I see.
