Stillwater Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 The temperature at YAYE / Conellan airport was quite demanding, as you can see on the EICAS: Outside air temp. 39°C in the morning. Warming up engine or pilot not necessary. The whole scenery in one shot: Uluru, Yulara village, Kata Tjuta. I followed the road eastwards. At Curtin Springs you see "Fooluru" to the south (right). Turn left at the first crossing in Angas Downs. Continue left in Wallara. Hard to spot these settlements... Here we cross Kings Creek Station. https://www.kingscreekstation.com.au/ Ian ynd Lyn Conway would be happy to host us - next time. Passing Kings Canyon... ... towards the nearby OZx airstrip. The main terminal has what it needs: Check-in counter, duty free shop and spa area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bernd1151 Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Great flight and nice screenies, Gerold. For some reason I cannot get used to the name "Kata Tjuta". I still prefer its former name "Olgas" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Initially also use the classical "western" names for the rock formations, but at least I try to learn . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Sawyer Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Quite nice shots of the Outback lately Gerold, all I keep thinking is it seems so desolate and hot and lonely. But it has a real stark beauty doesn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the terminal building placed by an OZx enthusiast exactly where you guess.

The Outback has gotten more structure in AUv2, probably due to the improved mesh and a diverse landclass. Not too boring to fly above it, though there is still enough desolation, heat & loneliness...

Rodger Pettichord Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Great trip, Gerold. Looks to me like the spa area of the final strip is a stock tank heated by the sun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Spa" was a slight exaggeration, your observation is as good ad the portable toilet. 15 hours ago, TerribleT said: What a great set mate! Thank you! Thanks TT! OZx still works well and provides some nice bush strips. 14 hours ago, Aussieflyer38 said: Great pics mate, and tour Don Thank you Don. Always good to explore the outback from a safe and relatively cool place (32°C in my office today). 13 hours ago, olderndirt said: Those are hot shots - my GPU temp went up 5c as I looked at them. - no more to comment! 4 hours ago, mikee said: Beautiful Shots Gerold , well done Is this Real Air Legacy ? Yes, Mikee, it is. I love this plane, though it sometimes makes my p3d crash. 2 hours ago, RetiredFE said: Cool set of shots!! Thank you FE!
