Hi all,

Just took a quick 'bush flight' from McQueston (CFP4) to Mayo (CYMA) (approx 40nm) in the Yukon Territory, Canada. Both airfields are situated in thier own little 'holes' which makes for interesting flying, aswell as some nice scenery.

Just leaving McQueston - hey, nice waterfall:

Hmm, this looks interesting - my wheels are still a bit muddy from that soaked airfield back there:
Image
Just a quick dip then - steady now. This may look easy, but i'm not trying not to spill my coffee aswell:

Hey! it's me! Wearing my standard issue 'Bush Flying Unlimited' shirt & moustache:

Some lovely scenery around these 'ere parts:
Image
Another hidden airfield, this is Mayo (CYMA) mmmmmmmm....... Mayo!!
Image
Coming in too land & the engine keeps cutting out - everytime it would restart, but then cut out again after a few seconds. This wasn't actually planned & I still have no idea what caused the problem:
Image
Ordeal over - I finally finsih my mission & deliver John's Chinese takeaway to him - still warm aswell:

Cheers for looking,

TSC.

Thanks clip. I have been to Niagara in FS9 before, but I was really disappointed with how it was modelled.

Cheers,

TSC.

Well, if you don't care for the default Niagra falls, Flight Ontairo puts out a great Toronto and Niagra Falls...a bit of work to install, and your machine will have to work harder, but if you don't mind that, check it out over at AVsim!

Nice pics!  Your engine is probably cutting out because you pull the throttle too far back (A few planes have that problem)..

Thanks Jordan, i'll have a look for the Niagara scenery. I suspect your right with the engine cutting out - it only happened when I was cutting the power to lose speed for landing - think i'll reload the old bird & give it a try with the throttle. To be honest, although it wasn't planned, it certainly livened the landing up.

Cheers,

TSC.
