through Okanogan River Valley. It's been a while since this paint made an appearance. But I thought it went well with the scenery.

Another Rand McNally moment - how do find these places?  :)

[color=#000000]Thanks guys. :)

Dave, it's not Rand McNally, it's FSWidget map.
I would be lost ::) without FSWidget. I run it on a second monitor every time I fly. I keep one eye on it for interesting looking terrain, place names, and other features. In this case, my places to fly list had an entry that Okanogan River Valley was a good place to fly, leaving from Oroville, WA. I took off and headed north into BC and followed the valley for a while. Then I noticed something interesting a couple of ridges to the east and ended up here. Revelstoke is about a third of the way from Kamloops to Calgary on Hwy 1 and sits at the south end of Revelstoke Lake and the southwest edge of Mt. Revelstoke National Park.
Sometimes I find them by accident, sometimes I hear of a place on TV or the Net and go looking. In either case, FSWidgets is invaluable. :)

I think there's just a little too much shine on the plane, but overall it's an awesome repaint! Nice screenshots, too.
