Got you thinking about it, didn't I.

lol yeah the VRS F-18 can get into some small airports 2000'ish runways tho I wonder if it would be to heavy for typical GA airport weight limits. As far as warbirds go the Spitfire IX isnt too bad of a bushplane. I was able to get it in and out of Bear Gluch, Lukla, Walter Suttons, Saba, St Barts..etc.

Yes, so would the Aviat Husky. Who did that for FS9 can anyone remember? I had some great repaints for that and I was always hoping to see a good one in FSX.

That was made by Steven Grant.

One of the most famous area is between Concrete Mun and Darrington Mun. This area is cool, with a valley and lots of lakes. And if you head full south you can actually have a nice fly up to Mt.Rainier where you'll find Ranger Creek then, a bit later, Packwood. From there you can even fly down to Mt.St.Helens.

Recently I had good times flying a little bit more south. Choose an airfield named "Sky River Ranch" or something like that, and head south-east to visit the hyroelectric dam.

If you like high moutains, try flying around Pemberton. I would also recommend the area around Scar Creek to check the photoreal glaciers. However, those photoreal textures are not visible in winter, since snow is covering them. Checking the frozen lakes here and there is still pretty cool, I have to say

Thanks

I haven't had much free time of late, so I have only now tried it out. As you say, its a really nice area. I have quickly tried a few aircraft and my current favourite is the PC-6 - nice and easy on those short runways plus an excellent view from the cockpit to enjoy all of the beautiful scenery.

Hmmm.............I think that I need to do a themed repaint.

One plane i dont think i've seen mentioned is MaaM-sim's XC-47 (R4D package ). I've been using it to fly the maine to washington hop list, and landing in mud puddles not much bigger than he plane itself with it.. its a gorgeous plane thats extremely well done and flies beautifully n fsx with the fsx patch they have on their download page.. Plus, its a big twin, so theres plenty of power to take you all the way to the scene of the crash..

PS.. you cant beat the price either..

you know Bill's Pasped Skylark is a pretty good bush plane, with excellent short field abilities.
