Found a lake with a Lake.......

Postby Rifleman » Fri May 23, 2003 12:41 am

After fuelling up at Courtenay Airpark, I decided to fly up to the mountains with my Lake Renegade and see how the Glacier is doing at this time of year............

Image
Even though my pilot dropped out on me, I did manage to find a lake up on the Glacier and did a splash-and-go on the frigid waters right after taking this shot.......
Image
And after drying the water from the hull, I took a buzz around and enjoyed all the beautiful scenery which we call home around where I live...........much better than the flatlands of southern Ontario..........

This is stock FS2002 scenery in the mountains surrounding the Comox Valley. In fact the snowy area depicted here is supposed to be the ice-cap which is known as the Comox Glacier.......

Rifleman - I like the shots and love the aircraft - I have a float plane collection going - where can I get one of those? If you don't mind me asking.

Its a nice flying little boat, but I wish it had more than just one flap setting and a bit more roll rate .......

Fantastic pics Ken.... ;D...!
I love the old pusher Renegade, a very pretty, well proportioned aeroplane.
Mine resides in my hangar at Half Moon Bay, (KHAF).

Cheers Ken... ;)...!

P.S. its' amazing what a bit of tweaking to the FS 2002 weather settings can do when you experiment with them... 8)...!

Thanks guys, I know its a bit repetative for me to fly around this area and show these type of shots, but it is home and very nice to see. I just keep loving it after years of flatlands.........

Hi Ken...!
Now you can see why I always fly around the Californian scenery of sun, sea, rivers, lakes and mountains, ups and downs, ins and outs, rather than the "flat, boring, landscape" of England.... ;D...!
LOL...!!!

Cheers...
Paul.
(England)....the land of Microsoft "flatness"... :'(...!
