VH-KDK Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 FTX CRM, OLC NA, FTX Trees, P3Dv2.4, Freeware Bearcat, ASN, REX TD EE. 1. Leaving KSMN, Salmon ID, for a tryout of the Bearcat. No set destination, just going to fly and enjoy myself. 2. An unusual effect between the two cloud layers. 3. Broken through the clouds and looking at Saturday Mountain in the distance, Chllis NP. 4. The Bitterroot Valley in Montana and the town of Ravalli. 5. Flying close to Quartz Ridge back into Idaho. 6. Decided to drop under the clouds and fly along the valleys. 7. Through the gloom lights appeared and after consulting the GPS I found that I was back at my starting point of Salmon! Not bad considering I had aimlessly flown around the mountains for 45 minutes. Spot the unusual legs on the Bearcat. 8. Too high and fast so an overshoot for another attempt. 9. Over Salmon. 10. Safely down after a very strange flight! Hope you enjoyed the ride.

Nice scenery along the way and I loved the weather too. Thanks Jack and I could not believe that I ended up where I started from after a longish flight. I bet I could never do that again in 20 years! I even strayed into some OLC NA territory as I only had CRM installed in V4 then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
