dominique Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 ...Flying too high with some guy in the sky is my idea of nothing to do. well, WRONG Mr Cole Porter ! You can get a kick in landing in some of the OrbX scenery strips.Anushka rests today. Enters the Cub (A2A of course) ! A very short flight (the Cub is slow) from KORS to charming Clam Harbour that the locals has the pretention to call an Airport (WA35). You want adrenaline, here is adrenaline. Look at the small trees above the left wing, the strip begins here and goes at 45° from the road. Landing straight to the SW is very difficult because of tall trees (look #3). You 've to dive and do the dead leaf fall dance which can get you just like that, dead. Good coordination in the turn, the whiskey compass stays put but I was a little too fast. Mercifully, WA35 is on a slope. If not... Note the blonde lady coming to plant a kiss on my forehead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dominique Posted January 10, 2014 Author Share Posted January 10, 2014 Though Dominique is correct: The song was first sung by Cole Porter, as I just found .... Porter wrote the song , with lyrics which changed several times, which was sung by many artists. Now, if you've seen Mel Brooks Blazing Saddle, remember what the railroad gang sings ? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v0mE745qmNE Great find Dominique, I will try to land at this rwy with a few of my aircrafts, it's gong to be fun to see so many crashes Jean François DO NOT try to land the Warthog there !
