Mallard Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 One of the main reasons for visiting Cairns would probably be the reef (at least it was the main reason when I went there) But first I had some tourists that wanted to be ferried directly to Lizard Island... ...past this fantastic scenery... [img width=1160 height=659]http://fsfiles.org/flightsimshots/images/4022010_11_24_15_10_48_33.jpg ...with a great view of Michaelmas Cay. [img width=1160 height=640]http://fsfiles.org/flightsimshots/images/3612010_11_24_15_29_49_68.jpg The next group were booked for Sandy Cay and already waiting at the chopper when I got back. [img width=1160 height=617]http://fsfiles.org/flightsimshots/images/2612010_11_24_21_28_20_13.jpg Problem was, that one of them had forgotten something at the hotel, so a quick stopover had to be made at the marina heliport. [img width=1160 height=668]http://fsfiles.org/flightsimshots/images/6852010_11_24_21_48_7_263.jpg Then we were off to Green Island... [img width=1160 height=662]http://fsfiles.org/flightsimshots/images/2442010_11_24_21_53_22_79.jpg ...and finally Sandy Cay - only to find that we weren´t the only ones there. Blast! [img width=1160 height=679]http://fsfiles.org/flightsimshots/images/2042010_11_24_21_58_16_79.jpg On the way back I just wanted to savour some of the eye-candy offered by this incredible scenery/airport package. I was so distracted, that I nearly got creamed by the Virgin 737 [img width=1160 height=618]http://fsfiles.org/flightsimshots/images/5732010_11_24_21_34_7_251.jpg Incredible detail and crisp as anything with reasonable framerates - I´m still a bit gobsmacked. [img width=998 height=700]http://fsfiles.org/flightsimshots/images/6472010_11_24_22_5_46_35_.jpg I hope you enjoyed these pictures only half as much as I did making them. My "v"-key is glowing, but I have the feeling that I haven´t even begun scratching at the surface of all that YBCS has to offer...

Rob Abernathy Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 Great pics and story! Loved it. I have AUS SP3 and the OZx fields but now I'm convinced to get Cairns to enjoy it all too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Lovell Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 So many shots of Cairns from everyone here, but each just as great to look at with so much variation... yours are just top notch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallard Posted November 25, 2010 Author Share Posted November 25, 2010 Thanks a lot for the comments! I´m seeing so many brilliant and interesting shots of YBCS from the others here that supply quite a bit of inspiration for future flights - so I´m just warning you that that definitely won´t have been my last batch Cheers Mallard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
