So, at over 2000 nmi away from Athens, the Islander won't make it in one hop. I've said before I've no idea of the ferry range of the winning Islander in the London to Sydney Air Race 1969, and even if I knew the range, it would be a problem having the Flight1 BN-2 behaving as per a ferry configuration. The maximum range more or less gives us the destination of Diyarbakir Airport (LTCC) which is also a military base in south eastern Turkey. The weather is set to be good so off we go. Taxiing out at LGAV. Lined up and clear for takeoff. Hope we packed the sandwiches & refreshments! Settled into the cruise. 9-…

On my earlier (CS) B727-200F test-flight, I'd described a quick go-around, lifting off (PAYA) Yakutat's Rwy 29 (and landing back on its ILS Rwy 11). Please note Yakutat has two criss-crossing runways, as follows: 11/29, 7745 ft, Asphalt 02/20, 6475 ft, Concrete Both of these runways are nicely replicated by Orbx (see screenshots below). I invite you, here, below, to visit (virtually), with me (and BOB!), in/around this Airport and Township, that's tucked in an isolated (and extreme edge) location of the world. (BTW, I hope they leave it, as it is, (unspoilt), w/o external road access to it....i.e. only air-connection...) Here are, bits of Notes, on …

As you may know, my last trip took me to LGMT Mytilene. Mytilene (or Mytilini in Greek) is situated on the greek island of Lesbos in the Eastern Aegean Sea, very close to the turkish border. This time, we find ourselves in the Western Aegean Sea at Syros, one of the cyclades islands. LGSO Dimitros Vikelas is the island´s airport with a crisp short runway length of 3543´or 1080m. Biggest commercial aircraft to land here are Aegean´s ATRs 42-500 at underweight.. To the northeast of Syros lies the cyclades island of Tinos, further to the east youl´ll find the small but lovely island of Rinia and then wellknown Mykonos. So here´s Olympic Dash 8-100 from LGSO t…

Thanks to a recent (PC-21) post, I was reminded (again) to pick up (a few planes), including this Texan T-6B/T-6C, from IRIS (their on-going and extremely generous) $0 offers. And, I'd also, owned, for sometime, the MSE IDAHO, but had never got to install it, so, I did install this photo-scenery, today, to pair with my Texan. Idaho is a northwestern U.S. state, known for its beautiful mountainous landscapes. It's located, bordered by Washington and Oregon to its West, and Montana and Wyoming to its East. From Rivers to Canyons, Idaho is a rugged state of great beauty. My only exposure to the state was a visit to its capital city of Boise, but, not much more. So, here…

Like the the PC-21 in French colours of SP2472, here's a few in an aussie livery - VH-DLB Of course the real VH-DLB is a somewhat slower ride.. Reference: Link I actually bought my PC-21 some time ago, well... as soon as I found it was available to buy @ Iris. This newer Driver 21 v5 release is a better perfoming (simwise) aircraft than the previous PC-21 release and I also added my GTN 750 as a popup replacement for the default 530 (that otherwise looks just terrible compared to the rest of the plane). Also, does anyone know of a better radio stack that can be used as a popup instead the low res P3D defaults? Cheers

Following up, on my earlier (post) of the (-100F/-200F) set, please find, here, next, a selected group of 20 images from the CS 727 Pax (-100/-200) variants. I believe I've now acquired most of the available CS 727 repaints of interest to me...! Unlike the Freighter snapshots, this collection of pictures, is taken after lift-off - from either 11/29 or 02/20 Rwys of Yakutat (PAYA) airport, which has, now, become a favorite of mine...with (an uniquely enduring appeal, of its own,...plus its two (good) runways, are also long enough for mid-size jets)! The 727 was one of the noisiest commercial jetliners, categorized as Stage 2, which mandated the gradual introduction of…

Hey Folks, Jusrt a few pics showing Flight Replica's Super Cub and the A2A PBR Cub, as well as the evolution of Avatar design. Cheers

[I un-installed my CS 727 (-100/-100F/-200/-200F) and installed all of them fresh (with the usual pre-conditions). Unfortunately, this did not fix my anomalous Flaps Indicator Gauges - if you wish, you may refer to my earlier post on B727 Test Flight. I find no other flaps (related) issues, with this SIM, such as for (Flaps annunciation, external Flaps movement, or pedestal Flaps lever). The plane also flies fine from take-off to touch-down, so, this is rather strange! I may open a Service Ticket, later, but, my tasks of opening a Ticket and waiting eagerly for response are not very critical these days...as long as I'm not (totally) blocked from using the SIM. So, I move …

Next riddle: guess where I am Always safe landings Torsten

For descriptions of Yakutat, I found, on-line, opening statements, about this (one of the remotest) region in the Alaskan wilderness, as follows, "If you are one of the many individuals that have never heard of Yakutat Alaska, you are not alone....There are no roads of access (from/to the outside world) for this secluded wilderness meaning it is a perfect destination to unwind and reconnect with Mother Nature....etc." It's, indeed, a bit off the normal radar of our familiarity. If you're not an Alaskan, you may wish to examine it's geography. It (and, btw, also, to its southeast, and better-known, Juneau) are located at the southernmost (and easternmost) tail-end extensio…

With travel restrictions slowly being lifted in Europe, Greece is calling me again. This time it´s the Island of Chios in the eastern Aegean Sea. The island´s airport called "Omiros" is pretty tight with only two parking positions.

As my last flight ended in LGHI Chios Omiros I thouht I might travel on northwards and thus took Aegean´s ATR 72-500 from Chios to LGMT Mytilene, a town on the Greek isle of Lesbos.

Heading west - check out that X plane hangar.

Taking off out of Tallinn: Slight turn to the west for the correct track to PETOT: Flying along the northern Estonian coast: Sun getting lower: Giving us a nice "brochure-ready" shot of the RealAir Turbine Duke: I'm honestly at a loss for words when people say they think Enhanced Atmosphere looks bad or unrealistic...
