Some maneuvering and an eventual low pass then landing at 3U2.  The scenery is on sale at the marketplace right now - I'd recommend it especially if you like mountain flying.  3400x150 ft grass strip at 5000 ft elevation in Yellow Pine, Idaho, USA.

(and yes, this Italian is far from home....)

First low pass to check runway status

This required a forward slip but we made it with plenty of turf to spare

Thanks!  It's a nice scenery for sure!  Large enough for most light GA.

Back country beauties Ryan . 

Beautiful pics Ryan. Do you think the Cirrus is a little overpowered now after SU9?

I have always thought it was underpowered.  But I don't think they moded the S22T, the turbocharged version.  It was definitely anemic climbing out of this airport on a hot summer day.

Ok no worries. Hopefully after SU10 we might see a mod for it.

Excellent shots as always, Ryan. Thank you for sharing them with us. Always nice to see some images of my second favourite aircraft in action.

A great group of screenies you have there Ryan!

Thanks guys!  I like the Cirrus too - it does get some flak in the GA community but I think it's the vocal minority as it is an incredible aircraft.  I used to build the wings when I lived in North Dakota - in fact this livery being a G3 - I definitely would have made wings for it!  

Always love mountains...Wonderful (and inspiring...🙂...) pictures out of this nice scenery package, Ryan...!! Glad you did a low pass reconnaissance first...that 3U2 looks really tough for landing, have to dive in sharp...it seems...!

[BTW, liked the (other) Pilot on-duty...is that a Beard or a maybe Beehive...🙂...on the chin....]

Your screenshots always look so amazingly real, Ryan !!
