Took a island hopping flight (YBAM-YHID-YWBS-YCCT-YMUI). Plenty of coral reefs, plenty of light houses and white coral runways.

Started a early flight. Shortly after take-off from YBAM.

Only recently bought the C185 after I saw how popular this awesome aircraft is amongst everyone.

Really a pleasure to fly. Here I am cruising at 1600 feet. Trimmed perfectly for level flight. RPM running @ 2100 & Manifold Preasure set for 2300.

KEEP OUT. Parked at my final destination Murry Island (YMUI)

BONUS SHOT:

I took a flight over the South West National Park (Oz)

Happy Flight & remember those wheel down on landings!

Great shots. :)

Gotta love the C185F Bush. When you get tired of the default liveries, Mike (TRflyman01) has some great repaints uploaded to the SimV server for it. I have one or two as well, and there may be some others. Plus I'm sure there are some at OzX. Glad to have you in the C185 family. :)

PS: The switch for the red dome light is on the ceiling.

Thanks Patchz.

Yup, luckily I also have the Cerenado Piper Seneca, which also has the dome light in the ceiling. Still took me a bit to find it ;D

Downloading Mike's liveries as we speak, saw some very nice ones at OZx too, thanks for the heads-up!

And by the way, I like the last shot, it really brings out the 'extra realism' as we all say :)
