Jack Sawyer Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Now we change planes, VAS still outstanding, A2A 182. Depart YMBA, Mareeba, set up the GTN to manually fly us over Cairns then on to YIFL, Innisfail. To me, this was a superb scenic flight, really pretty. Orbx Australia, YBCS, Global, Trees, AS16, & UTL for AI. Fields, I love fields.... That's my lovely and gracious wife Robin in the right seat. Spectacular, did I ever mention that I love Orbx stuff? No, well, let me tell you.... Overflying Cairns, lovely area! Now, go ahead, just try and tell me this ain't beautiful, I dare you. Banking to the right to head for YIFL (sounds like a cute pet you'd want to buy, "Can I have one of those YIFL's?") Just look at that patchwork quilt of beauty. I didn't know Oz was like this! I really like this one with the sun shining down on the field between the clouds. There's the airport, Innisfail. Chosen at random via the GTN. Last one, sorry - Gotta go make dinner for me and the wife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VH-KDK Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Outstanding caps from your flight Jack, you really make the AU scenery come to life. Some wonderful flying to be had along the east coast. Also you can take your Cessna from Mallacoota and head west along the coast to Wilsons Promontory and beyond. Now when are you going to teach that good lady of yours to fly?

Now when are you going to teach that good lady of yours to fly? Gonna write this route down Martyn. Been putting stickies on my real-world maps. There's a surprising amount of airports in Oz. I even found where you live on the Jepp map. Australia is very beautiful in the sim, Orbx did a wonderful job and I'm quite please with all eight I bought, saved a ton of coin!

Robin's a good watcher but she knows nothing about aviation, she'd rather play Words With Friends and watch her "soaps." I play her on Words but I refuse to watch soap operas. I haven't watched one second of TV for 26 years now and am proud of it. Our house is the only one in the neighborhood that when you enter a telly or three isn't BLARING its drivel. I asked her but she said it's too complicated. So I got a plane in the air and had her take over, instant stall and flat spin. It was good for a real laff riot!
