Bush Flying (FS ain't got nothing on this)

I was emailed these pictures from a friend who works as an Alaskan Air Taxi, and all I can say is wow :o Now it sucked any realism from the scenery in FS from Alaska ;)

Such completely gorgeous pictures!  Someday I would like to visit Alaska, and this just reconfirms that sentiment.  How incredibly fortunate your friend was to be treated to such a view, and how fortunate we are to be treated to the pictures!

Many thanks,
Darrin

PS
Now, where is that reality setting that maps this in FS?

That's some real flying, by gar...
Another thing FS lacks is the peculiar airflow possible when flying in such an area... Alaskan bush pilots are the best, possibly.
They have to be, or they don't live very long.

As the saying goes- "Are they a good pilot?" Someone would ask. "Well their still alive so they must be a good pilot." Someone else would say.

I wish that there was some way for FS to look like this ;D
