Goodly morning all... :)

Hope I am not mistaken for a Red Mallard Duck by those Duck Hunters... ;D

Invited to drop into the lodge on Griffith Island "CNG4" for a feast of wild game birds...wonderful... :)

Griffith Island ON CNG4*
     North of Owen Sound and Billy Bishop Regional (CJD3).  Situated in Georgian Bay.  Currently home to a private Hunt Club.  Was originally owned and started by the General Motors Corporation.  Approx 2500-3000 acres plush with deer, wild turkey and pheasant.

FSX and Vista
FS Water Configurator set to Steves Favourite Settings
HDE Clouds
3D Lights

Aircraft:  FSX Piper J-3 Cub
              Being Duck Hunting Season I chose the RED
              Livery... ;D
Location:  Griffith Island "CNG4" Ontario, Canada
Season is Fall and it is dawn...

Checked oil and fuel last night, as I have no electrics I am waiting for first light...it is a long way home and glad I am not driving... :)

AHH...Black Smoke...the morning stillness on the island is broken... :)
Image

Okay...now the Blueish White Smoke...oil pressure and temp...checked carb heat...
Image

Off I go...into the wild blue yonder...
Image

Into the Fall sunrise...leaving the island I need altitude to be able to glide to shore...good plan...circle island first to gain height...
Image

Time to start a circle of the island...not a good idea to fly over water without being able to glide to the safety of land...
