I had many a trip on these birds with Cascade Airways : http://departedwings.com/The Airlines/Cascade/Cascade.htm

That's one of the liveries available with the download.

Over at .org - landing at Marathon on the Florida Keys.

As long as you don't end up on the beach , all landings are good at St. Barts .

On the beach (Nevil Shute) a lot better than in the salt water. 

One of the 'Leeward' islands of the Caribbean.  Difficult downhill landing in the 'Torquesim' Islander.

Had to google this place , new one on me ; love that paint also .

If you ever heard the lyric "speed bonnie boat like a bird on the wing", it refers to Flora McDonald's rescue of 'Bonnie Prince Charlie' who was trapped on the Isle of Benbecula after the battle of Culloden.  Getting to Skye gave him access to a French ship and escape.  She and I both migrated to America - different centuries though.

Departing Benbecula airport northbound for Stornoway.  My ride is the Vflyte twin Comanche with a 'Paulmort' paint.

As a big fan of P/O McGhee's great poem and Keith Ferris's painting, here's my take.

A centerline thrust bush plane - the 'DoubleEnder'.  A pair of Rotax 130hp - a bit clumsy but very STOL.  This is off 'Coldfoot' along the Dalton Highway in AK.

'Martin' pilots flying the Canberra at 'KEDW' before it was also the B57.

Wonderful freeware AS365 'Dauphin' by 'APN'.

With a current temperature there of 9 degrees C I guess the shorts are a little warmer than what is worn under a kilt. Nice shots 

 

If that temp was 9 Fahrenheit, the dress code might need reviewing.

Beauties Sir !! .

My native land and yes, it does have its moments.

Leaving Broadford on the Isle of Skye.

Along Loch Alsh with the Skye bridge in the background.

After a turn Loch Alsh becomes Loch Duich and we find Eilean Donan Castle.

Beautiful paints for the 'Levelup'.

S7 airline leaving Moscow.

Batik Air leaving Jakarta.

The immortal OX5 engined Jennie leaving Machmell Fisheries.

Great shots of a cool bird.

The German aeronautical engineers were next level in WWII...as horrible as war is...its undeniable that it advances technology in every field at a quickened pace, the ONLY good thing that comes of it. (Huge advances in the medical field as well...and logistical planning, etc)

Might have been a greater success had the 'good glue' not been bombed out of business.  What they used as a substitute had a bad habit of eating wood - the primary structure.

Heinkel 162 - a preview of coming attractions.

Canadian Mounties 'always get their man and this new addition will certainly help in that effort.  With the latest Garmin suite and the new BGT (badguy ground tracker) success is assured.
