OK, finally here are my pictures as well.
First to start with the takeoff from Sitka with this very strong wind. The wind came out of 160° and was blowing at around 40 knots gusting to 49 knots. I was able to takeoff diagonal to the runway width as I only had to accelerate for 30-35 more knots
En-route somewhere to Kake.
I think the altitudes that Pär wrote into his pilots briefing document were rather optimistic.
The weather in the beginning of the flight really was not the best with a lot of clouds around us and of course the gusty strong winds.
but as we had the opportunity to stay below the clouds it was a fantastic flight as always.
On final to Kake now.
We are now already closing in to Level Island and its VOR LVD (I don't know why, but every time I see this 3-letter code the Level-D 767 comes into my mind
)
Two more en-route pictures:
I am approaching 68A Wrangell and the water runway, whilst Stefaan was approaching the runway at PAWG.
From Wrangell we were heading almost to nowhere, but seeing some very good scenery.
Thereafter it was my turn to get an FS9 crash, which required to reboot my PC and start everything up again, and this several times. And everybody that has very much AI-aircrafts knows how long FS9 will take to boot up. For me it is about 7 minutes currently. Well, I had to start FS9 twice as after the first start Track-IR wasn't working. But finally after quite some time I was back into the MP-Session. And here I am passing by at Petersburg PAPG.
A nice lighthouse on a very small island.
Then I got to Entrance Island 2Z1 and Stefaan was already waiting for us maybe firing on the BBQ
Pär has also arrived in his MEDEVAC Kodiak.
Stefaan waiting for us at the dock.
OK, these were my pictures. I hope you enjoyed them and if you want to enjoy this scenery and the flair of a MP-Session with us, then come on and join us.
