Flies a rust bucket by patchz...http://simviation.com/1/search?submit=1&keywords=rust+bucket&x=20&y=10

All settings, scenery and specs by PM, if that's your THANG!

Wow......the last two shots took my breath away 8-)
Very cool 8-)

Wow Greg! Except for the rocks/boulders, those first two shots almost looks real. #3 and #5 do look real. Wonderful set.

Wonderful set Greg...however...the last shot is Awesome...

Hi Greg....

Well a lot of the old bush strips were built on a hill which did slope both directions.

Flying the DHC-3 Otter I would try to land uphill depending on wind of course.
There is something about looking out the front windscreen and seeing the top of the runway...
What is even better...glance back and look at the passengers faces who are also looking forward at the windshield...

Of course you have briefed them prior to the flight...right?

I used the same technique when flying the Cessna 185 which took much more room.

The whole idea of flying into bush strips and getting out again safely is based on knowledge.
