Alaskan Vacation

As I left the airport, my plan was to follow Ketchican Waterway North.
Ahhh..my first piece of eye candy. A huge ship. Looks like it was carrying a load of timber. I figured I would "buzz" the boat. After all...this is supposed to be FUN!

I targeted the huge boat and headed towards it, full throttle!

I came as close as I could without risking my life!!
I do know a few freinds of mine who would be proud!!

As I passed by the boat, I could see the Captain of this timber boat was not amused......

Thanks guys!!
I have had her up to over 200 knots...soon after that I get overspeed but i didn't look at speedometer because I was holding on for dear life!!!!!  ;D
She is really nice to fly at around 120 knots. She just purrs along. I have my joystick sensitivities at high along with a very "tight" response window, (MS Force Feedback 2 has some cool options for calibrating).
Very fun to fly!!
