merlinux Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 A bit more of FNQ flying. Leaving YBCS for YATN, showcasing the airfield I have been working on lately (thread here). The apron at Cairns we have liftoff flying past my old house in Woree Gordonvale and the dang pyramid (a hell of a hike ahah) The Gillies way, one of the 2 roads to the tablelands from Cairns (the other being the kuranda way). Nearing Lake Tinaroo and YATN YATN aerodrome straight ahead coming in for pattern... Final Just in time for the barbie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's not technically summer yet. In winter it seldom snows. The last two winters it only went to freezing a few times. I always say this place doesn't go by the calendar, we have three seasons, spring, a long summer, and a hard fall, no winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stillwater Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Fantastic tour, Merlin. I love that scenery, that plane (if only I found out why the autopilot is currently causing crashes at my sim), that livery - and that region. Plus the barbie at that new airport building...
