PNW Heaven

Featured Replies

A short flight just outside of Portland (4S2) to Redmond, OR.  This was a lovely flight with scenic mountaintops in the distance (and up close as I fly by Mt Hood)

I feel like I'm right back in PNW heaven with the beautiful scenery and my happy little RV14.  (the late Bob Ross could draw my flight...)

Another incredible livery by @Ron Attwood  - thanks again sir Ron!

And of course I've equipped my RV with the TDS GTNXi

(Both 4S2 and KRDM are freeware at flightsim.to)

Initial climb to 7500 (I varied from 9500 to 5500 to enjoy the terrain)

Columbia River in the background (fly towards to the left of my screen and it would bring you to Portland KPDX)

Splendid set of shots Ryan .

 

 

 

 

 

Agreed. Very nice shots, Ryan. If I weren't anxiously waiting for the Sting S4 to release, I'd grab that RV14 for my own hangar.

Thanks everyone.  I just noticed on the last pic - the cloth canopy looks ultra real - exactly like the real ones.

Superb shots!

Any attempt to stretch fuel is guaranteed to increase headwinds

PNW is such a beautiful region to sightsee...! Lovely set of pictures...!!

And, of course, glad, you're putting the TDS GTNXi to good use...!

great shots!  Maybe it’s the orbx influence, the naturally varied and beautiful terrain, or the daylight friendly time zone but I love flying in the western US…it’s definitely my GA go to.
