This was a trip originating from Hood River, Oregon (4S2) flying down the Columbia River Gorge area and landing at Portland-Troutdale Airport (KTTD).
The Aircraft is a C-123 Provider, "Air America" and a great plane to fly on simulation. Scenery is free demo form ORBX of the Pacific Northwest. All freeware. Thanks for looking. Cheers, Mike

Flying the Columbia River Gorge area, the river is the natural boundary between Washington & Oregon.


Heading toward Troutdale, Oregon


Airport in sight, time to "Dirty-Up" Flaps, Gear Down, Throttle Down....


Using PAPI to control Glideslope


Begin slight back-pressure on Yoke for 3-Point Landing.

Nice set of shots! Hope you flared not long after you tookthe last one!!! 

Thanks for the comments. I went back and practiced my three point landings. Added screenshot of final landing approach.

Yes, I love the Nothwest Pacific area, this also is one of my favorite airports, surrounded by the mountains, wooded terrain and the Columbia River. The C-123 also is fun to come in full flaps and fly with throttle once aligned to runway 25 and use PAPI for glideslope assist.

Thanks for looking. Cheers, zulumike 

Slight Flair to flatten out for three point landing (landing simultaneous on all three landing gears).

Wonderful shots Mike...very nice...

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug
