new Auster at the pond

[migman29]

And to think I once mentioned the good old Airfix Auster.............

I popped over to the marina at KORS to get a fuel top-up and took the opportunity to walk around with my camera:-


Here I am docked in the marina and annoying this fisherman with my camera.


Here is the Pump Attendant...He gets bored and waves to everyone...

Day Five of my floatplane cruise...After my walk around at KORS, I decided to explore some of the nearly Seaplane Bases. I landed at a few of them but the scenery was just FS9 default so I didn't bother to take any pictures. However, I did manage to find this little pearl, Victoria International Seaplane Base...A part of Holger's scenery:-


It looks pretty nice and there is a seaplane just taxying in.


And there is a marina inside the seawall...There are also some mud banks that I must be careful of.


Well I made it into the pontoon.


There is even some fuel here...But I don't need any at the moment.


Tomorrow I will set off to look at some more Georender scenery.

Here is a brief video of my landing into the swell...click on it to view:-

Great video clip Peter
I confess, it brings a big happy smile to my face (not a pretty sight) watching the Auster being flown. Thinks - and I wondered if there's be much interest in the aircraft on floats - glad I listened to Leif ;-)
Cheers CHEERS

Yes I had noticed that Leif...There is a huge amount to see in Glacier Bay so stay a while

[petermcleland]

Glad you are enjoying it Dave M(oly)...I'm certainly enjoying this low level seat of the pants stuff but I must admit that it was a bit hair raising yesterday in intermittent very poor visibility :o

Thanks Peter

Actually Im flying one of the VA's 780s out of Juneau at present enjoying the scenery -- I was a bit disappointed to find that Sitka isnt included in GB but
found a nicee bot of scenery for it - Off to Ketchikan this evening hauling cargo as a Fedex sub contractor.

Sitka is in the next bit along Leif..."Tongass Fjords" and very beautiful it is too! However, TF is payware, as is Misty Fjords the next bit along from that

Day Six of my floatplane cruise...This day is a bit different as we need to climb over some mountains on route:-


Here we are taking off from Victoria International Seaplane Base.


Reminding ourselves what it looks like.


We need to cross a lot more high ground on the way to our next destination.
