Jack Sawyer Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 OND @olderndirt told me to go to PAGS and fly a heading of 250 and out in the gulf will be two islands and on one of them will be a lighthouse and a helipad. Nope. So I went in search for it, I was hoping to find Hilda there so we could have a few beers and go fishing. It was a rainy day with a lot of snow on the mountains despite it being August 8! I see the islands and hopefully the lighthouse. There's one. Nuttin'! Nope! Maybe this one and Hilda? Ain't happenin'! Disappointed I fly back to PAGS and dream about Hilda and fishing, not nessecelery in that order, and yes, that's how I pronounce nessecelery Nice plane to fly but a buzz saw for engine sounds. With a plane this small I can land anywhere! Now to taxi and camp out How about here? Nah. I know! Hey buddy, mind if I camp here? And thanks for sweeping up the pebbles so's I can sleep without rocks in my back! Open the canopy, set up the tent and... Sweet dreams of Hilda and fishing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyingleaf Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Great shots Jack. There is a Lighthouse pretty close by. Hilda called me last night and told me she's sorry that she couldn't meet you to go fishing. She is enjoying her trip and backpacking through the Andes with US Coast Guard Commander Chris P. Bacon.

JMBIII Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Jack, you gotta fly lower to find lighthouses. And the Coast Guard recommends having an EPIRB and an exposure suit. They would be a necessity (or necelery) just in case you suddenly were to cease aviating. Neat picktures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olderndirt Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Don't know what to tell you - it's right there on my map - limited facilities though. Hilda swam to shore and is running a sort of fish camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMBIII Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Jack, Edie (or is that Kate ?) and I flew out, found the lighthouse, but Hilda had left with some Coastie in a helo. {Lat 58° 11.97' - Lon 136° 38.23' - about 37 miles 245 deg. from PAGS - P3Dv3} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VH-KDK Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Excellent images from your wild goose chase and please don't tell Hilda I called her a wild goose! I bet you were looking forwards to taking her for a trip in your Cri Cri. Lettuce hope you find her or the lighthouse next flight. You need to take Tom Arto as a guide.

Better mood today, still in a great deal of pain with my knee and steroids do not help my mood. Anyway, I'm gonna try to find several today with these coordinates using a chopper. "lettuce..."

I really appreciate the coordinates and I needed to start testing all my Orbx Alaska stuff anyway so it'll be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
