rockliffe Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Last week I was because I had bought SAK without knowing that a large area was not adjoining PFJ. After a lot of advice from some of the guys around here I bit the bullet and bought Tongass Fjords to make up the total scenery. Wow! I'm glad I did . Holger, Bill, what a superb piece of work. I have just spent a wonderful afternoon flying and exploring this beautiful part of the world. I was mesmerised with the beauty of the area as I flew a flightplan from Sitka to CAB5, Bronson Creek, a flightplan that had been suggested by Matt Smith over on the Aerosoft forum. It's a beautiful trip and I can thoroughly recommend this area. The last 20 miles west of Bronson Creek is stunningly beautiful and while I was gazing at the awesome scenery I snapped a quick pic. I hope you like... BTW, I think the rendition of the ice is absolutely spot on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holger Sandmann Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Hello Howard, glad to hear you're enjoying Tongass X and thanks for the kind words. The approach to CAB5 is one of my favorites too. For a few years Bronson Creek served as the lifeline for the Snip Mine located on a plateau above the airstrip. There are some interesting YouTube videos of Bristols and other large prop aircraft in operation at CAB5; see, for example, and [media=]http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&v=j00UdAsbmtY&NR=1 Cheers, Holger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 I've had this one for years. I've done that trip. I love the Sitka area and for a long while I did a several-step trip from Orcas to Sitka and back, exploring different areas each time. Now I can continue to Cordova (I am doing that now). An excellent piece of work indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
