October 1, 20232 yr We all know Lukla Airport in the Everest region of Nepal. When you fly into Karubaga Airport (WAVG) in West Papua for the first time, you are reminded a little of Lukla, as it too has a runway on a steep mountainside. Of course, I could have taken the Kodiak, Twotter or Pilatus Porter, but I wanted to make it a little more challenging, so I was thinking of the single-engine Fokker F.VIIa or the Junkers F13 instead. Especially the Junkers was a popular plane in this part of the world in the 1920s. The Fokker was more flown in the Dutch East Indies. This time I chose the Fokker, the Junkers will be used on another flight. I fly with live weather; should be fun. Took me some time, but finally I have reached 11.000 ft. The highest peak around here in West Papua is Mount Kwoka with 9,850 ft. I’m aware that originally the F.VII can’t go any higher than 8,500 ft. So, consider this one of the technical wonders of MSFS 😊 The weather seems to improve Did I say “improve”? And now the exciting part begins, we are about to land There’s my airport Thanks for viewing Any attempt to stretch fuel is guaranteed to increase headwinds My specs: AMD Radeon RX6700XT, AMD Ryzen 9 5900X, 32GB RAM, 34" monitor, screen resolution: 2560x1080

October 8, 20232 yr Beautiful and adventure-themed pictures set, bernd ...Glad you thought of these two classics (Fokker F.VII and Junkers F13) ...and the former won over your (aviation) instinct here for this post ...🙂 ... Looking forward to the Junkers F13, a most significant plane that started off air operations for many airlines in the 1920s...

Too dangerous, she said. I have been to Indonesia quite often, many times on business. But I have never been to the Papua part of Indonesia. Maybe I would have, had I known that a company such as Susi Air exists 🙂 Any attempt to stretch fuel is guaranteed to increase headwinds My specs: AMD Radeon RX6700XT, AMD Ryzen 9 5900X, 32GB RAM, 34" monitor, screen resolution: 2560x1080
