Trouble sleeping laying in bed listening to some music when some Nirvana kicks on…
To Seattle I go, while checking out the sights I thought I would also take in a Seahawks game and a Mariners game.

Monaco melting in the summer sun*:
I don’t mind the melting too much, it’s what photogrammetry does.
But there’s a reason I was in a helicopter: it allows me to hang about until the photogrammetry decides that it will finish loading in after all.
*Strictly speaking still the spring sun, but ‘summer sun’ sounded so much better.
Edit: I may have traced the slow-loading photogrammetry to broken links in Addon Linker (my fault, not its) - I’ll be checking that out as soon as I’ve finished trying stuff with the Skyvan).

Almost exclusively flying the COWS DA 42 of late as I’ve been investing a lot of time into DCS and to lazy to change out of my stick and throttle hotas set-up to GA yoke set-up hehe. Don’t mind as a fun plane to fly.

Kushiro to Haneda. Sure am looking forward to the payware Haneda that’s on the way. I like the free Japanese voices in BATC. As a matter of fact, all the free regional voices globally suit me just fine. Mind you, if there’s a flight worth the pay voices, I’ll still use them.

VFR CYBL to KELN in the AzurPoly OV-10.
Lots of scattered to broken coverage…my first rainbow in MSFS.
Just past the third waypoint “Saddle”.
The OV-10 cruises nicely at ~210-230 KIAS.
East of Paine Field had to pick my way around some showers.
Looks like the worst wx is behind me.
Not so fast, a minute ago I could see wide gaps out front, trying to guess how high I need to climb to clear this line of showers. I’m thinking 5500’ to 7500’.
Nope, up to 10k’ and barely on top, not VFR legal.
For instrument approach descents the Dash 1 says 160 KIAS, with the Condition Levers to T/O-Land and Flight Idle. Oddly the pitch trim doesn’t require adjusting.
Ellensburg was VFR with winds 310 at 31 gusting to 43 knots. Runway 29. I may be high on downwind, but at least I’m tight and fast (tongue in cheek). Gear and Flaps 20.
The winds will help me on final, but nothing can help me with my angling final. A truism in aviation, “A Professional Never Blames His Tools.”
Those are some strong winds.
How about that, a fuel truck and courtesy van just when you need them.

Really enjoying exploring in the @bagolu taildragger 172. It’s a really great bush plane in my eyes. Taildragger - check. Plenty of power - check. Fairly quick - check. Throaty sound - check. Old school gauges - check. IFR ability for surprise weather - check. Cool cargo layouts - check. State saving - check. STOL - check. Dirty liveries - check.
Really the only thing it’s missing is wear & tear and engine realism. But that’s a fairly tall ask for freeware.
