A very dramatic descend into Jasper, Alberta using the class-leading Learjet. Arriving in style it soon became apparent that I needed to call upon all my flightsim training to get this bird down on this short, gravel runway with tall trees at both ends of the runway.

Next we shall be going deeper into the mountains - Mount Robson Provincial Park (the highest peaks) bush style!!

I'm lovin' this world tour and remember, apart from Active sky and REX, everything in FSX is all 'stock'. My system is an ageing old AMD Athlon 4200 X2, 2gb Ram, Nvidia 8800GT but she is still going strong

I hope you enjoy the shots
