North to South legs 3 and 4 - Gatwicksteve - 02-18-2012 The journey continues! Leg 3 took me from Chena Marina (just outside Fairbanks) to Kantishna (5Z5) - you'll soon see why! Out of AK28 - the large airport is Fairbanks International and Chena Marina is the strip to the left in the picture En route and it's not long before Mt McKinley (20320ft) is sighted, with the moon rising behind It's soon time to make the approach to Kantishna The aircraft gets tied down and it's time to explore the airstrip local air taxi After a good night's rest, I'm off on Leg 4 to Talkeetna, but I want to make a quick stop on the way Climbing towards McKinley/Denali a truly impressive piece of rock! Skirting west of the summit ridge Mt Foraker to the right Beaver country The reason for my dogleg route on this leg - I've always wanted to try this! My turn! Just a short stop for pictures Then it's on to Talkeetna Time for a cold beer! Steve RE: North to South legs 3 and 4 - TCA2050 - 02-19-2012 Very nice Steve ! RE: North to South legs 3 and 4 - CBreuer - 02-19-2012 Wow Steve, very impressive pictures. But I think your FSX is missing a good mesh for the high mountains. But it does look good though. Keep them coming along. RE: North to South legs 3 and 4 - Gatwicksteve - 02-19-2012 Thanks guys - you're right Christian, this is just FSX standard scenery, I expext things will improve soon when I reach the Tongass fjords and ORBX sceneries! |
