Thanks for the nice replies everyone. I have flown in the Mollis area. It's a good starting point to go exploring all the different canyons ,valleys and passes. Between the FSX map and the good old Google Earth maps I manage to not to get into to much trouble.  I usually print out a terrain map for reference. Works pretty good for flying low and slow.

You're a brave one, taking a Champ into the Alps...  :o
Is that the Long Island Classics model, or...? I find that one is pretty close to the real thing... that is: FUN. ;D

And, uh, yeah... right, the scenery is nice, too... ::)


:D

Ah ... Switzerland. Very nice in real life too ;D

Cool shots as usual Bob. I like the perspective and composition in the last and the first is a nice little extra.
