Thanks!   :)
That was sooooo much like our RTMM environment.  I recognize much of the scenery.  I think we do a pretty good job of emulating the real thing.  Great video!   ;)

Jeff & Rod,

Glad you guys like it.. If that's bushflying in our world, this may be their version of bushflights (though a bit aerobatic!) on the other side of the planet. I wonder if they would still need Iron Man..  :o  8) Totally awesome and mind-blowing!

That is amazing!

I'm from the UK and returned to flying "Misty Moorings" in FSX.  It is simply a world away from flying commercial aircraft in flight sim and with all the wonderful scenery available the level of immersion is fantastic.

Patrick,

but keep in mind, as far as I heard in another bush pilot video, a local guy at a bush pilot cafe announced, "you should love rain, when living in Alaska"   ;D

And smoke, too. Over 300 wild fires burning in AK as we speak. Smoke is impacting a lot of areas.

Thanks Trex!  Great video.

To all,  Sorry for my absence from the forums. Recovering from a couple months of sickness.
Back flying out of Misty's place.

Thanks Rod. Good to be back.
Hey! I did a flight that was a lot of fun last night. I wanted to see if I could make it to Yes Bay Lodge safely without going above 1200ft and I made it. Flew from Misty to PANT (picked up a friend :-), to Herring Bay Cannery up the straight to Bull Island an Granite Island to as far as you can go over water, left hand turn and followed the valley and river to the South East Heckman cabin and lake, Jordan lake, Dogfish Island and Saltery Lodge and on to Yes Bay lodge. What a fun trip!!! I have the actual topo maps (left over from my military days) and it is just amazing as to how accurate the scenery is!!! Thank you guys!!
