Stillwater

Recommended Posts

Some flight enthusaists had hired a vintage plane in Valdez for a scenic flight.

And the views would not disappoint them. Already at takeoff towards the city, ...

... or whilst turning south to the oil terminal.

No hikers around Allison Lake?

So we better look back at Valdez, the airport and the hills behind.

Following Richardson highway at Robe Lake, ...

... with a view back to Valdez Bay. Just a great piece of work by the Orbx team.

I wonder if this field is covered with snow in colder seasons?

However, the flight went on eastwards over Copper river, ...

.... Bering glacier, ...

... and Icy bay. Well, with limited visibility here and not so scenic.

The cloud layer went down to approx. 250 ft AGL. Where the treetops nearly clean up the belly of the DC-3. Nothing you would like in a real flight.

But in the sim one can easily approach Yakutat...

Thanks John. I could have even given these flight enthusiasts names, and @flyingleaf might help me...

Thank you Adam. T´was an easy work, just looking out of the window while avoiding the plane to crash.

An excellent informative tour Gerold with some spectacular scenery to be seen.

Thanks Martyn. Not far from where you have been on your last real travel, does it look that way indeed?

First: Thanks John.

Second: I was fascinated by these views as well. Have there been secret upgrades by Orbx or did I just make my sim run better since my last flight around PAVD?

Third: I have never heard of Copper River Salmon, so it is probably unknown here. Maybe it is so good you don´t export it? That would be reasonable and fully acceptable as well...
