Alaska, around the "Rusty Barge" airstrip

Featured Replies

Actually, I wanted to fly straight from here to Skagway, but there are so many really interesting spots around this area that need to be visited that I decide to take the slow approach. Yes, I will get to Skagway…eventually  🙂🙂

First let us check out “Rusty Barge” It’s a freeware scenery available at the .to site

That’s the barge that gave this place its name

Did I say that this fantastic scenery add-on is freeware

Let’s slowly head north towards our next stop. The island ahead of us is the Sullivan Island and I fly along the Chilkat Inlet

Before I land for the night at the Glacier Point airstrip, I want to explore the Davidson Glacier.

Canoes are used to get up the glacier river and as it appears, the water is extremely clean

The flysim.to website is an unbelievable free resource for MSFS2020 Addons-bush strips being my favourite also as demonstrated by  the above screenshots

Excellent pure nature atmosphere via these remote but very beautiful and rural corner of Alaska views. Very well done.

This was a really nice, unhurried jaunt through the Alaskan wilderness. Thanks for the tour.

Super set with narrative Bernd. Great find with the freeware 🙂

Very nice place there,  great set of shots !

cheers 😉

Many thanks, Jack, The picture I like the most is the third one from top with the old barge and the majestic mountains in the background 😉

From the authentic-looking Rusty Barge, certainly doing justice to its name...🙂..., across the brilliant blue waters of the Inlet, to that icy slope up along the Glacier...

Wonderfully pretty and scenic pictures, bernd.... from start to finish...!!
