Stillwater Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Following my recent flight towards Seattle I just "had" to inspect some older sceneries that I did not fly in p3d yet - or even did not own before the last sales. So I set up a flight plan with a little loop, ... ... went out of KPAE... ... over Everett... ... and into the valley of the "North Fork Stillaguamish River". It should be possible to give it an even longer name, but I see it would not be easy. Fantastic mountains around Darrington... Heading on northwards over the Sauk river... ... into Concrete. These Washingtonians seem to be very resistant against cold & wet weather. Nothing more than T-shirts here... Climbing to the west over Skagit river... ... but not for long, as Israel´s Farm is waiting to be found. And finding it is a real challenge... Even on the ground the runway can easily be overlooked. It is only a short hop until the Anacortes refinery comes into view, ... ... which means the sim pilot has to make the little detour south to Deception Pass bridge. Paul was polite enough to leave the signs installed at Anacortes airfield. You´ll probably see a little anomaly here - which I will report separately as well. Downwing over San Juan Island into KFHR... ... where I naturally stop directly next to the Café for a little burger. But the windows are dark, and no guests there - did I arrive out of business hours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sniper31 Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Great little tour Gerold, and glad to see you finely checked out all these fine PNW airports. There are some real good ones in there that I am surprised you hadn't checked out sooner, but better late than never A very nice narration to accompany these fine, scenic shots too. A most enjoyable flight experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, of course, all needs to be evaluated in p3d again.

Cheers John Initially I though "I´ll be back" when I was flying that tour. And I had the idea to make this the title of the post as well... I will either be there in Summer again, or I´ll cheat...!

Ah, gotcha Gerold...I was wondering...I was thinking to myself that Gerold has been around here for a long time, how could he have not flown around Concrete or Anancortes by now? But, your explanation covers that. Anyhow, great loop! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok Gerold, it appears you have decided where I am going to visit next! I hope that the post of my flight is not construed as FSim plagiarism.

All those quality airports in such a small area, plus the beautiful mountains. And watch out as soon as bad weather comes in, you can get caught very rapidly. Great post!
