T6 flight in the Pacific NW

[pegger]

I grabbed some screen caps from an online multiplayer session earlier tonight. I told you all about this group in the multiplayer board... Seattle Virtual ATC. http://seattlevirtualatc.org/.
I enjoy hanging out with this group. Everyone that hangs out with this group is a simulation/aviation enthusiast, and flying in the Pacific Northwest region is just great country to fly over. I highly recommend checking these guys out if you are looking for some people to fly with online.

Anyhow, on to the photos...
So I started out in Renton, Washington. The amazing freeware T6 from Warwick Carter and team is my ride this evening. There she is...safe and sound, and ready to go!



Dropped of the flight plan for VFR to Tofino, B.C. Pre-flight is done. Taxiing to the runway....



...And we are off! The radial engine growls and the air is shattered with sharp reports of the propeller tips going supersonic!...



An online friend is joining me on this flight. He quickly catches up with me and forms up on the left...



I'm sure everyone below us is eyes skyward to behold the vintage aircraft rumbling by at 1000'...



What a great flight! I returned to Seattle Tacoma international to find an online controller working the airspace! Cleared to Land Runway 34L!

My pleasure! I'm glad you enjoyed the brief story. I too enjoy photosets that include some of the story about the flight adventure.

Anyhow, I am really enjoying operations with thst online group. SvATC is based in Seattle, and there are no shortages of places to explire in the pacific NW, and along the west coast and Canadian Rockies. Hope to maybe meet some of you online there someday, maybe!

Thank you Shadowcaster. I like that one too. There is something about the look of vintage aircraft in formation that makes me smile. I also like the last shot of the view on base leg to KSEA, but that is just my personal bias, because I am building a new scenery for KSEA, and what is visible is my latest check compile of the project to date. Lots of work left, but it is starting to look like an airport!
