peer01 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Took a Finnish Air Force AT-11 (1941 livery, with the Swastika) over the great wintery Finland "X" scenery and the "Lapland Photo scenery". The read-me of both sceneries promised that the frozen lakes should be landable in winter, also in Lapland. I tested this in the Finland-X scenery already some years ago with a DC-3 on skis, so Lapland is next!

Sweet smell of succes! No expensive noises up North in the cold! And preparing for take-off again: Thanks very much for looking! GREETS!!!!

NMLW Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 I like your AT-11 and the great pics of it Jan. :cool: :cool: :D That scenery looks awfully cold. It will be interesting to see at what point the ice will be unable to support your aircraft. Please keep us informed. :p Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
