AOTD for 12/25 - North Pole

Featured Replies

North Pole. Interesting. Might be the town of North Pole, Ak. But surely not the true North Pole?

 

Enjoy.

Thank you.

Well, I did find that elusive North Pole tower. I then landed at nearby Airway strip (5AK3). Very tight approach with high trees on either side, big surprise! There is also a water approach that is long enough for float planes, to bad we don't have any. Only the paved strip counted as a landing. I took a job to South Gasline 255 miles(AK39) proved to be just as challenging. Yes, I used the skip. No time for a flight like that tonight.

Icon A5 ?

Is there a way to select a runway as destination in Free Flight?

Sure, fly the pattern to it and... land! :lol: If choosing a job, make sure that the correct Weather Theme with the appropriate wind has been selected.

 

:LMAO: :LMAO:

And also consider making sure to fly right side up :-)!

I did have the Icon there also to check the water landing. Yes, it floats and is a plane but but not a true float plane like this. :lol:

I ask because Air1 said "Yes, I used the skip" and shows a screenshot of a destination marker on a runway. Yet this is a Aerocache which does not have objectives and markers except for the cache itself.

Did I happen to mention I once knew a pretty red haired young lady from North Pole, Alaska? Heather was her name. She left North Pole for Phoenix, Arizona, where I got to know her.

 

Talk about from the freezer into the frying pan... :lol:

Screenshots are highly appreciated, Lance! :lol:

 

Best regards.

Missed that, silly me. Pity we will never see features like setting a target airfield.
