Derek McAllan Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 G'day all, Today's flight takes us on a regional charter from the mines of Mt Isa up to Cairns with a load of weary miners for a well earned break. I'm flying what is still my favourite regional people mover - the BAe Jetstream 4100 painted in my favourite skin., the wonderful Brindabella repaint by Frank. As usual, the flight was run with real weather from REX. Enjoy the flight! Climbing out from Mt Isa in beautiful clear conditions Still climbing... ...and cruising. The odd cumulus dotting the landscape below. It'll be thickening up as we approach the coast I believe. About to start the descent. Ahh, water at last. Lining up to start the ILS approach into runway 15. Localiser acquired, nearly spot on. An easy approach, even with the gusty easterly breeze blowing Safely down and taxiing out Parked up at bay 10 and gazing upon the newly updated scenery Hope you enjoyed! Cheers, Derek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Dontay Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 That approach shot from the vc is stunning. I second that! Great set Derek! That was awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek McAllan Posted July 19, 2011 Author Share Posted July 19, 2011 Wow, thanks everyone. I really didn't think that VC shot was very good and only added it for completeness (I almost always put in a VC approach shot in my tube flying threads). Glad you all liked it!!

Ken Hall Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 What a great flight, realworld weather, fantastic paint and Cairns, especially those approach shots, i really felt like you had just done the flight in the real world and are now passing them off as screenies from a computer. Must have cost you a bundle to bribe the pilot to let you up front for those cockpit shots. Fantastic set mate and sums up very nicely what this hobby is about, thanks for sharing cheers Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pphibbs Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 Cairns is a great area to fly. I organized some online VFR flights a while back around Cairns and must do them again now that we have some spectular scenery for the area. Nice shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2110 Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Excellent set of shots Derek, thanks for sharing, Can I just ask, I purchased the JS41 a while ago, but I notice that some of the airports i.e. YSCH are not listed in the nav computer, do you have to purchase these separately? cheers Phil.
