Welcome to the 102nd flight event across the GUNNER DOWNUNDER series. This flight will be conducted in the top NW corner of Montana, USA , and is again guaranteed to give you more of the unique and challenging flight experience that you have come to expect from Gunpilot’s flight events.
Come join the rest of us as we fly along Montana Highway 200, known as the Lonesome Highway, following the river valley eastward from the Idaho/Montana border through to St Ignatius, located just south of Flathead Lake.
This is truly spectacular country and if you have watched the Netflix show “Yellowstone” then you will be very familiar with the scenery that we will encounter along the way.
We will all be in our trusty Grand Caravans and will be tackling a host of bush landings and other challenges along the planned route that will really test out your airmanship.
There is an upgrade mod to the Caravan that can be found pinned to the top RHS of the #add-ons-and-downloads channel in Gunpilot’s server (invite below) and this mod is true to the reallife upgrade spec. Put this into your Community folder and you will be amazed at the improved overall performance and handling of the Caravan.

RECOMMENDATIONS
Cessna Caravan as all landing and other challenges built into flight are
tailored for this aircraft specifically
Turn Damage mode off as you will most likely suffer at least hard
landings if not full on crashes
Bring plenty of Duc Tape for running repairs
Crash Helmets are optional, Prayers are advisable
Embrace “SLEW” as it will be your friend by the end of the flight
Practicing to make Caravan landing approaches at IAS of between 40-50knts max will see you nailing difficult landings with ease and precision.
If you are new to these Gunner Downunder Challenging Flights, ensure you download the Caravan mod which can be found in the add-ons-and-downloads channel (mod is pinned to the top RHS of this channels screen) in Gunpilot’s Server.

Improved performance both in the air and on the ground.
