Skyroamer Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Hey guys, I figured I'd share a time lapse video I made during an awesome flight I got to go on at the Airline I work for here in the PNW area. The video shows many areas featured in Orbx products. This flight was a repositioning of the aircraft to Anchorage from Portland, with a refueling stop in Ketchikan. The route pretty much followed the coast line. Featured in the video are a PDX takeoff, a visual approach into Ketchikan, an instrument departure from Ketchikan and an ILS approach into Anchorage (PANC) in addition to landmarks such as the Olympic Mountains, Glaciers, the city of Ketchikan and more. >http://youtu.be/PuBNkvIbQ4A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FriLa Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Really a beautiful video! I like very much the comparison between real life scenery and ORBX to see what is possible and how close simulation can come. Thanks for posting, Fritz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lthendrix Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 wow I missed this originally That vid made me shed tears I think because it really displays the vast expanse of planet earth and what insignificant creatures humans are. and therefore any opinion espoused by myself would be moot ..................oh who cares ... GREAT VID Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnMD Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 That was seriously good, I was thinking as I watched the video, that the ORBX scenery is actually not too far off the mark when all is said and done, I love flying around those areas, and that video really highlights the beautiful scenery that is to be found up in the northwest. regards John MD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ticker7 Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 I loved the video on two counts, one it was very well done and two I've actually been there and flown around the area so it brought back some good memories ;-) Very Well Done.

Skyroamer Posted November 15, 2014 Author Share Posted November 15, 2014 Thanks guys! I really appreciate the comments. I treasure this experience very much as it was a really excellent time. The people of Alaska are truly extraordinary. During our refueling stop in Ketchikan, the Alaska Airlines station crew was awaiting our arrival with a traditional Alaska BBQ with freshly caught local Salmon and Halibut. They had t-shirts and smoked salmon for us, and took pictures with our airplane, which is painted with a University of Alaska theme. All to celebrate Horizon Air's start of operations in the last frontier. We also apparently enjoyed one of the VERY VERY few clear days they get per year, and that was in the winter time! Quite a special day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
