Orbx recently released 2WA1, Diamond Point airstrip, one of my favs from the FSX days.

I meant to fly a relaxing flight there without showing any pics but sometimes I just start snapping them and can't stop haha!

So here's a few flight pics combined with some nice pics of the airstrip - you can decide if you'd purchase it or not - its about 13 USD.

The Cirrus paint is from me and I don't typically show off my own paints but I really liked this one 🙂

My SR22T will make short work of the trip at about 170 ktas - though we were advised to avoid A-680 KNRA

The lovely view south towards seatac and Mt Rainier

2WA1 is a private airfield and requires a PPR if you're not a member, before landing

There is low intensity edge lighting for those night ops

And the airport has a wind sock

And basic snowplow services for the rare snow event

It's a great place to fly in with a single runway 2335 x 24 ft

Ryan is the only screenshot artist who also paints his planes, literally.

Also, wondering why no one commented so far when your one of the top five screenshot posters in quality?

Fantastic shots, Ryan and I can fully understand, why you like that paint of yours. Btw, I like it too 😃

Any attempt to stretch fuel is guaranteed to increase headwinds

Yes, I recall this airport from FSX days, Ryan...

Lovely set...the land class textures in your images look crisp and very well-rendered...

[OK to show-off this sparkling silver/blue repaint...🙂...it looks really sharp and beautiful on the Cirrus...]
