  1. Needed to take my #Xplane #flightsim #Cirrus SF50 Vision jet into one of X-Plane's MRO facilities for some quick repairs to the avionics.

    It was a nice easy 199NM flight tonight from KEUG up to Walla Walla Regional Airport (KALW) in southeast Washington.

    I did not know X-Plane had a facility up there. The chocolate chip cookies in their FBO/office were top shelf, homemade by the CS Rep's mom.

    Nice break from the usual Otis Spunkmeyer FBO cookies.

  5. Tatitlek PAKA → Merrill Field PAMR

    After a solid wall of grey for the first half of the flight, the weather finally broke towards Anchorage. I got no clearance for Anchorage International in the small Cirrus, so I treated myself to a low pass over the city and put her down at Merrill Field.

  6. Icy Bay 19AK → Merle K. (Mudhole) Smith PACV

    Always following the Pacific coast, I continue heading north. The region is already quite rugged and sparsely populated. The airports here have to struggle with their own unique problems:

    “Erratic winds. Moose may be on or near rwy. Large flocks of migratory birds in vicinity of airport during season.”

    Happy Landing!

  9. Yakutat PAYA → Icy Bay 19AK

    Continuing the glacier watching with a flight over the Malaspina Glacier: this ice mass covers an area of about 2,500 to 4,000 km² (depending on how you measure). This is three to four times the size of Berlin, Germany 😲

  10. Tanis Mesa AK69 → Yakutat PAYA

    Today (and tomorrow) it's all about watching glaciers! The exciting thing is that we're now so far north that the glaciers go all the way down to the sea.

    The Cirrus SR22 has a large windshield which provides a nice field of view – perfect for today's tour.

  12. Petersburg James A. Johnson PAPG → Juneau International PAJN

    Did you know Juneau is Alaska’s capital? I totally didn’t: had my money on Anchorage 😳 Never too old to learn something new!

    The RNAV approach here is quite interesting. It gets you close to the airport, but the final leg has to be flown visually, after a 15° right turn to line up with the runway.

  17. I cycled from Strathyre to Killin this week, and while stopped to take my usual photo of the Glen Ogle viaduct, I saw the sky was putting on a better show to my left. I love the shapes clouds can make.

  19. Northwest Regional Airport Terrace-Kitimat CYXT → Stewart Aerodrome CZST

    What a dramatic light today! At least for the first half of the flight. After that, it got hazier and darker with much less contrasts.

    Stewart Aerodrome is approached visually and sits in a valley, so there’s not much room for the turn after the downwind. The Vision Jet probably isn’t one of the usual aircrafts seen here ;-)

  29. Still dodging +RA, +TS and +GR thru the Midwest "storm corridor" in my #Xplane #flightsim #Cirrus SG50 Vision Jet.

    Dropped some fares in Cedar Rapids, IA (KCID) last night, and took another load south to Jackson, MS (KJAN) tonight.

    Made it in fine, this sim plane is rock solid. But for some unknown reason, the sim is planting crashed helicopters pretty often on the ramps. Here, a Sikorsky S-76 buried itself deep into the concrete, will not buff out.

  31. Port Hardy CYZT → Bella Bella (Campbell Island) CBBC

    A flight at dusk, which just barely ended in time in Bella Bella (I like this name!).

    The runway wasn’t lit, and in the worst case, I would have had to turn back to Port Hardy, but everything worked out fine.
