Stillwater Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 What is the best thing to start the day? Breakfast? Not required. A scenic flight? Good suggestion! If you are around, do not miss http://www.freycinetair.com.au/index.html . Good guys, that have deserved some PR (even though I rarely give this). Take off over the Friedly Beaches... ... and the village of Bicheno. Good fish, good accomodation, good views from there. Following the road along the Chain of Lagoons (which laggons?), ... ... but be careful with these wild animals here! Whoever named this the "Elephant Pass", these animals have not been seen there for a long time. A perfect view of St. Helens, and its magnificent runway location between the beaches and the bay. Nice AI traffic parked here... ... but be prepared if you want to take a drive to the beach! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VH-KDK Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Well I have not been deflated looking at your latest glorious post from Tassie, Gerold. What a great way to start the day in a beautiful part of the world. Just be very wary of hungry packs of Penguins though. That would be a very bad start to the day.

I was optimistic the Penguins were not too hungry in the mornings. I only met a hungry spider down in Bicheno... 18 hours ago, teecee said: More of Tassie, Love these shots Gerold, Well done..

teecee Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Here is a test for those of you that like to fly "the lower the better". On the other side of the hill, (to the North) of Elephant pass, is St Peter's Pass.. From the West, fly in over St Mary's township, and try to fly down the pass to Scamader at zero ft (just above the road) It's an exhilarating flight, with a fair chance that you will crash. This is one of the benefits of Simming.. you can do this really crazy stuff, and live to walk away if you get it wrong. Teecee. PS: I hope this did not hijack you thread Gerold, I apologise if you think it did.. Terry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will try in a small plane first... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
