flyingleaf Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Hauling a load of Mining equipment from PAJN to Atlin, Yukon Territory, Canada. Low and slow in Supernatural orbx Alaska and the amazing Yukon. Alright load'er up. Where is the Captain of this old ship?Hey isn't that you? Psst I am hiding from HildaOh you didn't hear? They had to let her go because she discovered Jack's Fish Haggis recipe and nobody was overly wild about it Bye the bye "she who must be obeyed" told me no more Hilda mentions or she'll take my yoke away for six weeks. Well at least I save a lotta gas without Hilda.(It's ok she who must be obeyed is gone now)OK here we go over Juneau through the beautiful inlets on our way to Atlin.Beautiful Glacier. This is Mother Nature's Valley building 101. She sure knows how to build thing right.Leaving that beauty behind. I'll never get tired of this beautiful scenery that orbx developed.Here is a magnificent valley.Steady as she goes skipper. No sweat man is this beautiful and this old girl flies as steady as a rock. Uhh maybe I'll rephrase rock since rock don't fly very well Whooee bush flying at it's finest. Look at that scenery. Mule Team rocks.Entering Atlin Lake leaving the valleys behind.Ok had to post one more of that great Lake.The mining guys in Atlin see me coming and awaiting their equipment with great enthusiasm (Yeah right they want their Bourbon and beers more than anything else) OK here we come. Hilda oops I forgot she ain't here no more.A shot from my office.OH, look doesn't she have beautiful legs?Wow this is a bumpy ride. Nothing a few bags of cement wouldn't cure.Get all that stuff out fast I'll keep the engines running and we'll get outta here as fast as we can. One of those big Miners came up to me and asked where is Hilda. My co pilot "Jack"(Yeah there is another one he likes Fish Haggis with squids too) told him she "eloped" with one of them skinny Vegetarians from our Wrangell trip and now lives in San Francisco.(Go figure)Well I hope you enjoyed flying with the Mule Team. Just have to add that I'll never tire of flying the orbx world especially PNW and all the way up to Alaska. Cheers Karl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup I do miss her but as I mentioned "She who must be obeyed" said it's not very nice to make fun of the "vertically" challenged (Gosh I hope this is finally politically correct) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
