Good links and photos. I've added some to the library and linked one of the Flight-Seeing videos into the FAQ page under "Flight-Seeing" Plans. (Which I'm slooooowwlllyyy adding to the scenery locations). To fly "low and slow" and have the autopilot make all the turns takes a lot of patience. Hugh Smith Lake Hatchery was fairly straight-forward, the approach at Hunter Bay took 2 hours! Just putting the way points into Plan-G doesn't necessarily keep you off the face of a mountain! So placing them so the autopilot flies you "around" instead of "into" things is a challenge.
In the Eddystone Rock video, notice the "ceiling." The clouds are covering the nearby mountains, and that's why I fly the FS plans at 1200 feet. The ceiling is like that much of the time up there, the flight-seeing pilots still have to "make money" and the tourists still want to fly ... so you stay low and slow.
Great pictures of New Eddystone. Probably, for me, the most interesting is the Wiki description of "why" it is there, "how" it was formed. That thing ... well, it just ain't normal!
