Mt Rushmore Sightseeing

[BiggBaddWolf]

Had a couple tourists who wanted to see Mt Rushmore from the air, and get some pics, so I headed to my Piper Cherokee to get the plane ready  ;D

And we're off to the runway....Ummmm sorry about your grass guys but if you would build a proper taxiway

First pass we get pretty close  :o

And another close pass as we head back to the airport

On final to land...passengers are a bit nervous when they see the trees, and to tell ya the truth so am I  :o

And back in the parking spot. I think the passengers are still almost in shock after that close call with the trees when I landed, But I assured them I was a professional, but that they shouldnt attempt that at home....

Hope ya enjoy the SS's of the Carenado Piper Cherokee 180.......Totally awesome plane IMHO  ;D

Awsome shots!

Is the scenery default?

[BiggBaddWolf]

Yep the scenery is indeed default  ;D

Trees? That runway has lots of room! Heck! It's even PAVED! Go Alaska, go to B&B and take a look. 700 ft. of GRAVEL runway. Landing a Navajo on that is VERY tricky, but not bad in a 172. The PAX get a bit nervous though.

That plane sure is cool.  Carenado have done another superb job!  I love their aircraft.

Yep I know about those Alaskan gravel runways, I have been to several of them mostly in the default Piper Cub, and if you will notice the PAPI lights were all white on approach which meant I was a little too high, I might have hit the trees though had a been much lower....

And yes Carenado does make excellent aircraft, anticipation was about to get the best of me waiting for them to release the Cherokee 180

Is that freeware or payware scenery?

Nice shots! I was disappointed myself when I flew by the default Mt. Rushmore in FS9. It looks way to small. Wish there was a replacement version.
