Stillwater Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 There are so many Orbx pay- and freeware airports south of Vancouver. If I were to fly them all it´d probably take me until Christmas before I get to another country. So I chose an Alaskan airliner (Airbus? Do they use them?) ... ... to climb southwards... ... over the San Juan Islands, ... ... and looking back to Sidney BC. Crossing the border and the channel towards Port Angeles and the Olympic mountains. Lake Cushman to the left, ... ... and Bowerman to the right. Soon we crossed Columbia River at Portland, leaving the volcanoes to port. I like these evening views. Mt. Shasta welcomes... ... in his glory, ... ... just before we arrive... ... in Redding, CA. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shermank Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Good looking shots, but the Orbx scenery is so detailed and beautiful, why not do the same flight in stages piloting something lower and slower. My favorite aircraft is the DC3, but maybe that is because I am PR director for www.dc3airways.net. Come and join us for good flights and good friends.

I can understand your passion for the DC-3, a great sound and quite some challenge managing the engine temperature. Manfred Jahn has done an incredible job. Thinking of all the small airfields we have down that way... on my rig are West Wind, Israel´s Farm, Darrington, Concrete, Anacortes, Friday Harbour (and the entire island), Diamond Point, Sekiu, Olympic Field, Vashon, Wax Orchards, Bowerman, ... that could fill some time! 9 hours ago, BradB said: Actually they do use a few A321's Gerold , inherited from the Virgin America purchase a few year's ago . Ah, thanks for the info John. So my usage of that bus was not complete fiction! 5 hours ago, flyingleaf said: Great shots Gerold. PNW is awesome. Fly North on your next trip. Thank you Karl. I have to admit I am heading south actually - this is my first virtual trip to the US since November 2016 (guess the reason). 5 hours ago, TerribleT said: Very good overview mate Thank you TT! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
