Orbx airports visited in real life - a rolling story

Is that a HarbourAir aircraft (yellow and white) if so going with Whistler, Alta Lake, but unsure which Orbx add on that is included in. Unless it’s a Mesh add-on.

Thanks for the P3D clue. There's a seaplane base next to Juneau. Are you lucky enough to have visited that Larry?

Cheers 

Graeme :)

That would have been my guess as well. But PAJN is an airport pack, no area...

In answer to the first question. Yes I have been at the seaplane base in downtown Juneau. In fact the flight to the airport shown took off from there but the photo is not Juneau. I'll give everyone another day and then I have another photo that may help.

It is Taku Lodge SPB (PFTK but not available in default MSFS).  I believe this location was added by Orbx Southern Alaska (SAK) and designated as TKL at the time.  Taku Glacier Lodge was later enhanced and detailed via scenery from Return To Misty Moorings for FSX/P3D built on top of Orbx SAK.

We have a winner. It is Taku Glacier Lodge from Southern Alaska.

Here is a final shot when leaving:

I really enjoyed the real life pics of Taku Glacier Lodge.  Unfortunately, I have no new picture to post so I hope someone else can step in with a new pic.

Here's a little strip on the big Island that caters to sky diving.  Part of an Orbx partner release. 

Okay, this can´t be US mainland, though it seems the plane has a "N" registration.

Not Alaska either, if climate change hasn´t gone further than I know.

My guess is Upolu Airport on the Big Island of Hawaii.

Y'all  too good!  You got it Rod.  Went sky diving there last November for my 75th birthday.  Daughter and grandson went too.

Not sure what you mean with the N- registration Gerold.

USA. Which proved to be correct.

 

Anybody here with a new picture?

Yes, I know, but N- regs are all over the world. We have a few small GA planes stationary here at LOWI, owned by locals.

Kenmore Air - Lake Union?

 

Yep!  Got it Rod.  I knew it would be an easy one but couldn't resist posting it since it was such a beautiful day in Seattle.  Few years back I took a friend on a sight seeing trip on one of those float planes.

Sorry I missed this one. I was there last year on vacation. Lovely photo.

Missed it as well. Summer takes its toll, capturing time for outdoors.

Good guess. Do you have another riddle?
