VH-KDK 35,669 Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Gerold suggested a move south for some nicer weather when flying. So it is down to KBLU and his forecasting was spot on. 1. Yak-52 speeding down the runway at KBLU. 2. Heading east and following Route 80 towards Emigrant Gap. 3. Yuba Pass. 4. Lake Tahoe North Star. 5. At KTRK Truckee 6. Carnelian Bay on Lake Tahoe 7. Rubicon Peak is in the distance. 8. South Lake Tahoe 9. Now that was a nice landing. 10. A different parking spot. 11. VH-XSU "Red Alert" at Albury 6th April 2008. 12. A close up of the beautiful artwork a lot of these Yaks adorn. Some much better weather Gerold, thanks for the advise! 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Stillwater 13,621 Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Usually risky to follow my advise. But in this case you were lucky. And I was, too, as you did not just give us beautiful scenery shots, but also another chapter of the book "compare sim with real life", which fits perfectly. Makes it another great post! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
