VFR in northern Norway


Following the southern shore of the Varanger fjord. On the left hand side FSCommander which I used as a reference for navigation and IVAP TCAS display are visible.

Still revisiting FS2004 I wanted to fly another favorite – the SAAB Safir by Sibwings. I chose to do a long VFR navigation flight departing Honningsvåg south following Porsangen to Lakselv. From Lakselv I followed the roads Varangerbotn and from there I took the “water way” to Kirkenes. 1 hour and 48 minutes online on IVAO. Flying manually all the way as the Safir has no autopilot.

Bush flying in Alaska


The Cessna 206 enroute

Some GA flying for a change. A seaplane mission around southern Alaska with the Virtual Pilots Association. I chose the beatiful Cessna 206 amphibian made by Carenado. I also revisited FS2004 just for fun. With ActiveSky 6.5, Ground Environment Pro and Ultimate Terrain even old FS2004 looks pretty good!

Alaskan Adventure with DC-3 Airways


The MAAM-SIM DC-3 enroute from Williams Lake to Dawson Creek, British Columbia. The airport in the background is Prince George.

Today I continued the Alaskan Adventure charter with DC-3 Airways. The charter consists of 23 legs beginning at Boeing Field in Seattle, Washington and then taking you North through parts of Canada and Alaska. It is one of my favorite places to fly.
