Took off from Longview with a very nice Seabee

Landed at Lands Inn after an annoyingly slow climb - but I finally made it straight in

Got a little late and had to do a eye surgery before trying the attempt to land on the water strip again at Longview in rather "dark" conditions...

Thanks guys!

Awesome shots my friend, and I'll have to try your mission out myself :)

Yes try it - it's hard and the only lead point is the fade light on the end of water strip... It is not easy!

you did survive the landing in one piece ? ;)

Yes I did - and that with a plane without landing lights! ;-)

Btw, do you happen to have Accu feel 2, it makes landings on water so much more realistic

a dusk flight there would be very scenic and with accu-feel the water would be so much more realistic.

thanks for sharing them gonna try the night flight myself, I have accufeel and I rekon it's gonna be a nail biter

Excellent shots Magnus. Btw, do you happen to have Accu feel 2, it makes landings on water so much more realistic

Yes I have and water felt very good. Although I got a micro stall just before landing...felt really spooky with Accufeel2... It was so dark that I could not watch the instruments. Must have been really slow before touchdown. The plane came to a stop very quickly.

Hi my Friend! Please let me know how it went. The Seabee is very dark in the cockpit - meaning the windows are not 100% clear - so it was even darker from pilot position. But it's a really cool challenge!
