Just a quick fly out of Gaspé, QC heading north to Sept-Iles. Had to line up behind an airliner for a while and then it suddenly vanished!! Lol. Copperfield in da house.

Where was this flight? I’m looking for quiet little palm-tree-lined airstrips!
Guaratuba (SSGB), at Southern Brazilian sea shore.

Adventures in long distance ballooning continue. Over the past few days I flew over Quebec and then landed in Maine:
Overflew New Brunswick and made it to Prince Edward Island:
I was actually able to land at the Summerside Airport on this leg. And I needed it! With a 15 gusting 20 knot surface wind this balloon had an approach and ground roll.
Sat for a couple days as a storm system moved through. Made it Nova Scotia yesterday. I narrowly missed three different airfields and then wound up pushing on into the darkness trying to find suitable terrain to land in as there were otherwise just trees everywhere. Near Sydney, I aimed for a clearing and railroad tracks marked on LittelNavMap, but was really just descending into terrifying inky blackness, not knowing what I was going to hit. I heard an impact, saw grass go by as the basket was dragged horizontally, and then the balloon righted itself and I was down.
Currently waiting on the eastern tip of Nova Scotia and will attempt to make it to Newfoundland tomorrow as strong southwesterlies aloft are forecast

Took Spirit of St Louis to St Exupéry France.
Cockpit is a bit inconvenient, it covers about 80% of the screen, the center part is machinery, not view 
When I was landing it, I had to put the airplane properly on course in third person mode (outside camera) and only the last 40 feet descending I spent inside… but at takeoff and in-flight, she behaves very nice and steady… no hands off flight yet, but it won’t require continuously ruddering around, like Blériot.
A 1927 airplane I may use more often

***I want to make the real travel From America to France, Spirit of St Louis rules!!!
LOL you’ll be flying for a while, on the steering wheel… there’s a shorter one, try Wright’s over a 10.000 Ft runway… you’d break the record of 1903
The model is nice… 
here’s the little motor
See cockpit view Cntrl-1, 2, 3 etc…

Took the ‘C-47’ for a test flight, after a few mishaps off-camera, flying from east England to Nijmegen and back. Being greeted by dense fog on return I had to divert ever farther north to land in ‘better’ conditions. CTDs occured, so this is a composite of three segments of the flight; the first getting me back to the Dutch coast, the second getting me to the Cranwell area, and the final just to make that landing. Learned a bit. Still have to figure why the CTDs happened, while not on my long H145 flight in the Islas Canarias… Cheers!
‘Geronimo’! Over Groesbeek Heights (wonder when they’ll make para and pax versions of the plane)
Home again, home again, jiggity jog

Made a lot of progress today. Weather was nice (not so live), made my way from Sept-Iles to Baie-Comeau and then to Quebec City.

A quick hop south from Ketcikan in the Carlin Air Beaver, to check out historic Green Island Lighthouse in Chatham Sound.
Next time I’ll pack my chainsaw - those trees can’t be regulation around a working lighthouse, surely? 
I noticed the helipad, but I don’t think it’s active in the sim, unfortunately.

drives me nuts when I cannot start a flight on a cool, hard helipad, but I can land on it - would be messy in a Beaver, of course.
Motivating shots. I haven’t flown the beaver since P3D, over three years ago. and it was never this gorgeous. Cheers.
