Spartan: From Mahoney's Tavern (BC) up to the glacier (FSX)


peer01

Recommended Posts

On a nice summer's day we start at the "Mahoney's Tavern" strip near Stewart B.C., to go up to the Glacier near Mt. Hastings. It's a very steep climb to the plateau on top of the glacier. FS gave me some very beautiful views. On top of the glacier there's a flat area with soft snow in summer, you don't need skis. (I hope)...

Beautiful pics. of your flight to the glacier Jan. I really like the spartan too. Glad you had a safe flight and landing. :cool: :cool: :cool: :) Now we all know Mahoney does not serve tea. He has been known to serve beer in tea cups if the Civil Aviation Authority folks are lurking nearby. :p
