A short flight across northern Vancouver Island with nice early morning colours.

As you can tell by the direction of the spray there were substantial crosswinds. — Bob

Great shots Bob!:cool::cool: Molly and I spent almost two weeks in Vancouver at the Pan Pacific Hotel in September. We had a 20 something floor window view of sea planes coming and going in almost every kind of weather.

 

Those folks IMHO really earn their pay!! ;)

This from our last visit to Vancouver. From our hotel room window just after sunup.

 

Sadly, I don't find this water airstrip in FSX??!! As busy as it is, I can't imagine it would have been missed!\

I took off From Vancouver International and tried to find that water landing spot In Vancouver again. There's way too much water landing traffic for it to have closed!! It's pretty early in the morning and there is some mist. But I'm sure, if it's there, I'll spot it!

 

First I looked to the West:

Then I looked towards the East:

Dern it! It's just not there! Glad I'm in the Honda Jet. I can land at Vancouver International again!! Well just cross over the cross over the park and come back to the airport. I'll have to try the Beaver another day.

We keep painting threshold lines on the water for you, but they just seem to get soggy and sink?

And don't even get me started on the REIL lights! :mad: — Bob
