Stillwater Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 It is time to continue my trip report Warning: Not much flight action in this post! After arriving in Milford Sound we took a walk around the village. The first place for a simmer (and probably for many other visitors as well) is the famous airport. Sure we spotted a number of planes going in and out - all within a few minutes. The scenery has lots of details, I can´t show them all here, ... ... because we went along the peninsula a bit further to Roscos Kajaks. And surely we enjoyed the views of Bowen Falls. We took a boat to Sandfly Point, the end of the Milford Track - hard to spot in the RL photo, but there it is! - ... ... and walked until Giant Gates. The last day in Milford we took a ride on this boat... ... getting close to Stirling Falls. Finally we relaxed on THE bench at the mole, ... ... you may spot her in the center of this picture as well. There should be some more flying in the next post, I propose. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed a fantastic place, Wayne. The scenery in the sim was already great in FSX, good enough to prepare for the RL trip. In MSFS there is even more to enjoy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
