Stillwater Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Some famous islands in the southern sea will be touched in this freight delivery tour from Pago Pago. The fire brigade is ready to help, but not required, luckily. So we get out into the clouds. The sky gets blue over Raiatea, ... ... Moorea... ... and Tahiti, our destination. A straight approach, ... ... an easy landing. And the ground crew is already waiting to get off the supplies. Whatever these may be? 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wain71 Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 nice flight there Gerold, I only hear do of one place before, your map shows how these place rely on air transportation both for movement and supplies, sea is an option but so much slower... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BradB Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Great flight Gerold , for your next flight may I suggest a flight around the Solomen Islands ; I hear there is a strange “Red Line” in them . 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Wayne. Yes these names sound familiar, but the places are really quite remote. At least for us. 2 hours ago, boetie said: An exotic trip Gerold. I can see where you're heading.

But this time there is a good probability your guess will lead you to another place than mine... 50 minutes ago, BradB said: Great flight Gerold , for your next flight may I suggest a flight around the Solomen Islands ; I hear there is a strange “Red Line” in them . Thank you John. After having crossed the strange date line (especially strange in my VFR planner) there can´t be anything more difficult. Plus, trust me, I don´t want to land on a "solo men" island, as I always enjoy our famous red spot in the scenery... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sniper31 Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 So, exactly just what IS in those delivered supplies Gerold???

The thing is that I, much like you, like sharing flight stories. When Orbx started enforcing its policy not to show third-party stuff, I became quite restricted at posting screenshot stories, since it is really rare for me to fly from one Orbx airport to another. Due to this policy (which is understandable from Orbx' point of view) posters are left to showcase screenshots (presenting exceptionally good shots like in the screenshot contest), and I am honestly not very good at this. I'm not even sure if it would be allowed to post screenshots of a scenery which is in the portfolio of a company that sells products via Orbx, but not this particular one. And that I take too much screenshots and am too lazy to sort them in time. Edited May 1, 2022 by Captain Lars 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can fully understand this dilemma, Lars. And this is probably a reason why we have lost a lot of contribution in the screenshot forum. Unfortunately. 10 hours ago, Captain Lars said: And that I take too much screenshots and am too lazy to sort them in time. ! Yes, that is indeed quite a bit of work, best done with a glass of good stuff... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In those lucky days I was still able to visit the crew on the flightdeck and usually the captain told me that there was no other commercial airliner around us for miles on end 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only crossed that pond once, and that was a damn long leg. Combined with connection flights before and after, plus the date line I got totally puzzled. At least you were lucky to get some entertainment from & in the cockpit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
