djfierce Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Love the powerful Mooney for a mission like this. I got to visit Shasta last summer, and was amazed by it's size. From Wikipedia: Mount Shasta (Karuk: Úytaahkoo or "White Mountain") is a potentially active volcano at the southern end of the Cascade Range in Siskiyou County, California. At an elevation of 14,179 feet (4321.8 m), it is the second-highest peak in the Cascades and the fifth-highest in the state. Mount Shasta has an estimated volume of 85 cubic miles (350 km3), which makes it the most voluminous stratovolcano in the Cascade Volcanic Arc. The mountain and surrounding area are part of the Shasta–Trinity National Forest. - James Intel i7-10700F 2.9 gigahertz - 16GB Memory DDR4 3000 megahertz - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 Super 8GB - 480GB SSD + 1TB HDD - Windows 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rupert Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Beautiful shots! I loved flying around Shasta back in the 60's. And I've had a Shasta Cola or two myself as well. Being an old chopper guy I usually fly low and slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djfierce Posted November 10, 2020 Author Share Posted November 10, 2020 I think I've been stressed out lately. I've come to confess that I did not name my post correctly. While I have been to Mt Shasta, this post really isn't about that. This should have been labeled as Mt Rainier. Since I can't edit my post, I'm confessing it here. My apologies folks! Mount Rainier (/reɪˈnɪər/), also known as Tahoma or Tacoma, is a large active stratovolcano in the Cascade Range of the Pacific Northwest, located in Mount Rainier National Park about 59 miles (95 km) south-southeast of Seattle.[4] With a summit elevation of 14,411 ft (4,392 m),[5][6] it is the highest mountain in the U.S. state of Washington and the Cascade Range, the most topographically prominent mountain in the contiguous United States,[7] and the tallest in the Cascade Volcanic Arc. - James Intel i7-10700F 2.9 gigahertz - 16GB Memory DDR4 3000 megahertz - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 Super 8GB - 480GB SSD + 1TB HDD - Windows 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shasta, Rainier, etc. We're gaming here!! I have taken many a shot especially in Vietnam where I'd have been killed while shooting it RW! My big issue is how close your sim comes to RW flying without the RW gunfire!!! Michael Being an old chopper guy I usually fly low and slow.

Michael Good to see you sir! I'll admit, Vietnam is one place I don't recall visiting in the sim. Perhaps one day when I'm feeling brave! :D - James Intel i7-10700F 2.9 gigahertz - 16GB Memory DDR4 3000 megahertz - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 Super 8GB - 480GB SSD + 1TB HDD - Windows 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
