BUSH Alaska bush into the Wild

[RockOla 233]

Historically I'm more of a virtual airliner pilot, but these days I am racking up hours flying in Alaska on my NXCub.

I took off from Chunilna Cabin Strip (AK98) to the Stampede strip. Nice trip, quite abrupt transition on the ground between normal and snow textures, but great great weather and clouds. I did encounter a small difficulty at 6000 feet when I got too close to the clouds. Icing started to cover the windows and wing edges. I had to quickly descend to 3000 feet while turning on the cabin heat. Intense and immersive, even if icing conditions could be more punishing.

I cant easily find precisely where this shot was taken. Would be great if screenshots embedded some kind of EXIF information mainly in-game location !
