The midav squadron managed to put 3 aircraft in the air for misty hop #3
We lined up in the wee hours of the mourning to explore orbx pac fjords from ketch PAKT...captain is hovering in the air because he doesn't have the scenery but surprisingly most of the airport are close enough so that it really didn't matter.
the moon setting and the sun rising in my Alaskan civil air patrol DHC2
my wing men X-ray and Captain55 in tow.leaving PAKT behind.
turning towards Annette island and metlatka seaplane base.
the seaplane base at metlatka and Annette airfield in the distance.
the sun rises on misty fjords.
Over flying Annette on our way to Prince Rupert.
love the glistening water, kinda romantic.
and my beautiful work horse, you cant have her.
suddenly the dreaded coastal fog appears.
Hope it doesn't get any worse near Prince Rupert.
no sooner said, then ...crap
dipping down under the fog its not as bad as it looked.
Prince Rupert ahead.
Captx55 is the first one in.
And i,m safely across the numbers, as if there was ever a doubt.
As mourning blooms we stretch our legs and kick the tires.
Taxing for takeoff i had to change paint, to many to chose from.
You guys ready ...Lets roll
Looking for the entrance to the fjord that will bring us to Terrace muni.
One last look out toward the Dixon entrance.
and time to turn left up the fjord just behing this island.
I think thats capt55 below , it helped to turn more tags on ,model ,distantance , player name ,that way i had 15 seconds of red tags to locate my Buddy's and 5 seconds of nothing.
If you haven't been up this often overlooked fjord, your in for a Treat
steep ravine's everywhere to the left and right and a beautiful water way to follow.
not to mention the glistening sun
there was a nice fishing camp on these islands from fsaddon freight dogs scenery. i wonder if it would fit in orbx pac fjords.kinda like sleeping with the enemy
handy spot for a gps and another ravine to explore one day.
just to much to behold left right and center.
theres captx55 taking the leed.
alota of power lines and other goodies along this beautiful waterway.
Looking good X-ray. check six..traffic ...traffic
Terrace muni is up ahead in this valley
you think its easy to stay this close..here X-ray is within a mile and already hard to pic out against the background...glad hes not wearing camouflage.
Terrace airport out there to the right comes into view at a distance.
on my downwind leg whats this .some kinda concrete plant or something.
and possibly a hospital.
whiskey delta golf "WeDGe" on base to final.
reaching for the ground ..this baby can float for miles if you come in hot.
a well earned break and stretch..now where,s that bottle of jack i had behind my seat..no no i,m not a booze hound ,it helps with the motion sickness.lol
...
part 2 terrace to kitimat and on to Houston CAM% in the Pac fjords out back.. coming up tommorrow..cheers WeDGe
