VH-KDK Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 The second part of my flight from Crystal Brook to Wilpena Pound in South Australia 1. At the head of the Spencer Gulf is Stirling North and to the right Port Augusta. The Sturt Highway will take you north to Alice and Darwin and you can make out the Eyre Highway which goes to Perth. 2. We are heading NNW to our destination. 3. We are passing The 820 m high Dutchman Stern and the Conservation Park of the same name. The mountain was name such because it looked like the stern of a Dutch sailing ship not because I am not flying around the Netherlands at the moment. 4. Further along the beautiful Flinders Ranges at Kanyaka. 5. Abeam Hawker. 6. Wilpena Pound appears out of the haze as we fly close to Mernmerna 7. Descending into YWPD on the edge of Wilpena Pound. 8. I am not used to this plane and that dirt strip appears to be very small. 9. Touching down over some mutton mowers. 10. I have made it with plenty of runway left but wait, it might be a ruse. 11. I need some help to unload the plane in the evening heat, I had better drum up some help. 12. Signing off with a loverley outback scene. Not a mobile phone in sight. I trust you enjoyed the flight with Careflight, a nice place to find a friendly bear! https://careflight.org/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stillwater Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Great to see this Orbx scenery from "stone age" again. Well, looking so beatiful this is not stone age, this is a must on every simmers HDD. The hazy mood and the mountain structures are a pleasure to watch. And I like to see the mowers nearly as much as the Red One. To SEE, I wrote, just that you do not misunderstand me . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
