MP Leg 051 KSEA-KONP

[CBreuer]

Hi guys,

Well, we had another nice MP Session with lots of fun and nice scenery to discover. Although the route was a little zig zag today, nevertheless it was a lot of fun.
First here is a map of the (slightly from the original edited route):
   

Unfortunately it were only Stefaan and me joining today, although Vic joined for some time on Teamspeak to say hello.
At 17:10Z we went off blocks and taxied to RWY 16L at Seattle.
   

The route lead us some miles West of Tacoma Narrows, but as Stefaan was some miles behind me already I decided to head over to KTIW.
   
   

then the first official touch and go was at Olympia:
   
   

Nice little short formation flying with Stefaan.
   

Passing by near Satsop Nuclear Power Plant (abandoned).
   

Next touch and go was at Bowerman (KHQM).
   

Stefaan is just behind me.
   

And back to the East...
   

Satsop from the other side...
   

Next was Willapa Harbor (2S9).
   
   

Then we came to Skamokava East Valley Airport (18JY) an airport which is not included in FS9 by default, but I decided to create it for this flight and added it to the flightplan. Unfortunately the terrain is not flatten and so the runway disappeared and also a building I placed there as well. So I just overflew it two or three times.
   

We continued towards Astoria next and here is a bridge near Astoria.
   

Astoria Airport with the USCG Station.
   
   

Next airport was Nehalem Bay State (3S7).
   

Then Stefaan and I decided to make an unscheduled touch and go at Tillamook (S47). Nice weather somehow looks something different.
   
   

Next we arrived at Newport Municipal Airport (KONP).
   
   
   
   

Indeed it was a very good MP Session and I loved it. If i have some time to spend in the future I surely will return to some of the airports in the future using the good B200

So, there will be no MP Session next weekend as it is already the Easter Weekend...
See you all back in two weeks.

Well, Stefaan. I don't know how to tell you this without making it sound too hard...




















We are already in Oregon.
In two weeks we will cross the border to California.
