AVSIM Staff's Albums

Images from my days doing ocean surveys. All of these images, unless noted otherwise, were taken during the survey seasons of 1980 and 1981. All were digitized from Kodachrome slides and taken with a Canon A-1 with multiple lens configurations. Hope you enjoy!

No way am I anywhere near being proficient and expert with FS images than many of our members who contribute to the screen shots forum. I post there, rarely, however these images are among my favorite.

These are photos taken on Saturday, July 13, 2013. I was accompanied by Captains Ray Miller and Tom King and Admiral Dave Kunkel (All retired U.S. Coast Guard aviation types). A fun day had by all.

June 27 2012 fly in BBQ at Beck's Field, 88 aircraft showed up and 1,000 people enjoyed the sunny Oregon day and wonderfully manicured grass strip.

Took my 4 year old Bella up for her first flight. Sophie loved getting to sit co-pilot. We climbed up to 8,500 to get a look across the scattered overcast and then shot the RNAV back in to Aurora. Both of them wanted to fly through a cloud. I teased them that we didn't find any marshmallows in them!

Revisiting DX10 Preview now that taxiways no longer flicker thanks to Steve's DX10 shader mod :

Recreation of real world flight I made many many times with my family in a Baron (N1249Z)

Flying the pattern at Orbx's new release of Creswell using Carenado Bonanza V35.

Carenado vs real world King Air C90

Night IFR flight from Carlsbad to Santa Barbara routing over Catalina Island.

This is N157JT in the flesh! I got the pleasure of flying this hot rod in June 2008. RealAir did a wonderful job of capturing its breathtaking performance and sexy ramp appeal. This is one of the most fun to fly aircraft I have ever been in.

IFR flight from Ontario Ca to Oceanside using PilotEdge ATC.

Got the pleasure of flying this wonderful aircraft in 2009.

Beechcraft Baron G58 I flew in 2007. I did a repaint of the FSX default Baron available in the AVSIM library.

Flying with my friend Peter Hoff the other day. We shot two approaches in to KHIO then returned and shot the approach in to KUAO where he hangars his Bonanza. His aircraft is so close to the Carenado panel arrangement.

Deteriorating weather enroute to KSBP with circle to land on the ILS at minimums. You might notice the edited lightmaps in the panel. Best to watch as slideshow.

Fun Stuff; motivational posters, irreverent images and pokes at our love of aviation.

In October 2003, the Smithsonian opened the new NASM at Dulles. Early in 2004, I was able to visit the museum and these images are the result. I hope you enjoy.
