A bit of British Columbia bush flying

It’s a beautiful early autumn morning in Twin Lakes, when I was asked to ferry some liquid supplies to Tatlayoko Lake. They pay for my fuel, so who am I to resist?

The airstrip is supposed to run right next to the small road. Oh well…

Strange, nobody here to pick up the booze. That gives me an idea.

Luckily, I always have a tent with me

Am I afraid of Grizzly bears? Here? In this location? Naaaa…😨😱

Bernd: I now happen to vaguely recall your last business venture...🙂...having to use that "run-down" aircraft...so, glad to know, you've, here, a sharp-looking (and quite capable) bush-plane for this ferry-service...!

Seriously: These are lovely pictures of BC bush-country...and it seems like a fun and scenic flight! Makes me determined to hop (north) over to BC on my next visit to Seattle...(if I ever get another chance)...

I didn't really use a firm flight plan, as I flew by hand, but here are the ICAO codes of the places I passed by:

Twin Lakes CAG4

Chaunigan Lake Lodge BCOX

Tsuniah Lake Bay BC7X

Chilko Lake Lodge CAG3

Tatlayoko Lake Bay BC4Y

I hope, this will help 😉

nice shots with a scenic flight.  Imagine doing that flight with FS2020.  Then compare it.

Exactly! I thought the same, when I did the flight. I have to admit that I am quite happy with what I have right now. Still, I guess many of us can't wait to experience the difference 😊
