Found mahself a shack. This is from yesterday in NZ, took a flight over in the PAC 750, then saw something resembling an ultralight airstrip but unlabeled. So I took the Drifter back to investigate, and catch some ridge lift on a breezy day.

Long transit day - Quebec to Goose Bay to Narsarsuaq Greenland. RON before the Reykjavik leg. G3000 handled the dogleg RNAV 06 descent perfectly.

Gave the An-2 a try - it’s really weird seeing the airspeed in kph. I kept looking around for the VSI too lol. Thank goodness for the ToolTips, although I wish they also indicated condition for some of the levers.

Gorgeous view flying over Temecula in the morning.
My parking spot for today.
Took the JPL C152 on a couple of trips fraught with danger and several key mistakes on my part, which of course added to the fun. First I took off from L08 (Borrego Valley) to F70 (French Valley), and diligently did everything except for glance down to see that she was out of oil. Took off, and noticed this detail once I had reached 4500 feet. As I pondered the situation, the engine died and I had to turn around and land in the desert (wind direction made returning to the airport impossible). I landed safely, then re-started a new trip from KMYF (Montgomery Field for repairs and oil), to F70 once more. Live weather created some gorgeous conditions, mostly rain and then into some IFR conditions about 14 miles from F70, meaning that I once again could not continue. I decided to venture into the zero-visibility conditions, and then test my skill at doing a u-turn. It’s really scary to do but I made it. I was able to land at a nearby airport and then move time to morning and weather to a Floyd preset to finish my journey to F70 then from there back to KNKX where I found a real bitchin parking spot. Also got to play around a lot with leaning using the EGT you can swap in place of the clock. A bit easier to do than in the Bonanza. Fun and learning all in one session!!

Did some patterns in the Bagolu Skyhawk.
Wait for it:
I chose Woodland near Portland, no bad intentions, but it turned out to confuse people on Vatsim: “Did you just say final?!” 
Sorry! 
So I started to emphasise the “Wwooodddland”.
Cool thing: Volanta records all touchdowns in patterns. 
Landings got better, as I deliberately focused on and practiced the often-heard “eyes at the end of the runway!”

L08 to KPSP via the pink line. The desert scenery and clouds are soothing, and the propeller lulls me into childhood memories of camping around Borrego Springs and Ocotillo. Bit of a crosswind landing at KPSP, IRL I would most likely not be flying with quite so much crosswind. But that is why we have Flight Sim!! I am really enjoying the WBSim/JPL C152.

Reached 400 hours in my log book (although I’m actually around 500 since I lost about 100 hours of entries previously) and tried out SU 12 with an hour sight seeing tour around New York city in my good old Cessna 140.

Visited Fort Bourtange:
It was surprisingly hard to find. I wanted to find it just by flying in its general direction and looking out the window, but had to use the map in the end. Looks really cool though
Here’s also a real world photo from the web as comparison:

We departed in Ardmore, not far from Auckland, with a nice addon scenery.
Took some volunteers to Great Mercury Island, New Zealand.
They monitor the animal population. The island is currently declared “Pest free”, after wildlife population has recovered from foreign species that had been brought, and disturbed the ecological system.
I imagine they are now monitoring the situation, and visit this private owned island from time to time.
Most of the time the island is forsaken, but there is an estate that can be rented.
Bummer: They messed up the terrain. It’s 11% IRL, IIRC. – And did you spot the airport fire fighter truck they put there? 
This is without the addon available. It’s archived, but I tested it afterwards, and I noticed no issues. Will keep it. Still the terrain is off.
Now I’m itching to learn how to do mesh fixes.
