PRB's CCAA DC-2 Thing

Well it's a good thing this plane comes wth a retractable undercarraige, or I would surely have bounced the wheels off a couple of mountain tops along way during this leg. Started out on the coast, at Las Palmas, and headed east. Of course the weather on the coast was nasty, as usual. It's a strange feeling climbing out towards the east at an ear-popping 500 FPM, completely shrouded in thick clouds, knowing there is a 15,000 foot (at least) wall ahead somewhere, lurking in the gloom... Worked out ok, since I didn't bump into anything. Kodaks show 1) climb out from Las Palmas, 2) What sort of bizzare geologic forces are at work here? 3) Fianl approach to SPHO.

Enjoy following the DC-2 in good hands ... the awesome screenshots are a bonus.


That's a great model ... good luck the rest of the way "in" and have fun!


Put your beer(s) on my tab when you get finished.

Thanks Austin! There are ample opportunities for misfortune, tumult and chaos yet ahead of me, so all is not lost! :icon_lol:

Popped over a hill, pulled the yoke against the seat, bringing the Douglas down to gear speed, dropped em wheels, pushed the nose over, went around the hill, turning, dropped the flaps, lined up, bam, just like Gann! :icon_lol:
