Taxiing to parking after a breathtaking landing near high terrain. Look closely to see the cloud capped ridge. You'll get used to seeing lots of weather effects around here.
|
Sunset with cumulous below.
|
Howl at the moon!
|
Getting ready for takeoff. What dramatic view ahead!
|
Scud running in the rain, through the valley. There's the airport! It's going to be a tight downwind leg! The Dreamfleet 2000 Cessna is fabulous for some low level sightseeing, day or night.
|
Dreamfleet 2000 Cessna just after landing. A very nice visual model to complement the scenery.
|
Terrifying sight ahead! Which way to turn? And is there even time?
|
Climbing high in the sunshine on a glorious morning. Don't let it fool you. The "box canyon" ahead goes well over 11,000 feet, and that's the point I had to turn around to make it out alive.
|
Getting ready to turn back. Good pilots need to have an escape route. In this case, it's not straight ahead!
|
High overhead Sion (I think), on the way to the Matterhorn. Climbing fast upwards to 17,500. Note the alpine lake.
|
Another, just WOW shot. The glacier is so real looking. If only you could land on it and slide down for some fun!
|
Speeding past some close peaks at 255kts. We're in the region of permanent snow cover and ice falls.
|
There it is! The Matterhorn dead ahead! You can see where France is located, as the default scenery runs right up close to it.
|
Circling to the back side, looking toward Switzerland.
|
Headin' back now, only to return soon I hope...
