Thanks very much for looking! :cool:

GREETS! :)

Very nice, Jan:cool:;) All that water and not a wet wheel in site! BTW, speaking of wheels....I suppose they DO have a handle in the cockpit for raising the landing gear after takeoff??:confused:

No Sir! :mad: The DH-114 Heron Srs1 had a fixed gear! Bwahahaha!!! PFFFFRRRRRRT! :confused: But thanks very much! :cool:

Edit: PAH!

I was thinking maybe itchy trigger finger!;)

NO! I'll keep it! :mad:

Fidjis look fine. Albeit I never understood why i should fly the other side of the world to swim in water with sharks! :):)

Thanks for your comment! :) You'll miss a lot of fun. :cool:

You'll miss a lot of fun

 

Do you mean you swim with sharks?!! Along your water landings I mean :cool::cool:

Mon ami: my waterlandings are all very well calculated and state of the art you hear! And a von Peerhoven doesn't fear animals that live in water. OK? Fine!

This proofs it! :pilot:

 

Wonderful pics. BTW where get you "Freeware Fiji Western Islands scenery" for FSX?

I only found such for X-Planel.

This proofs it!

 

Yes indeed!

Great shots Jan!! And a fixed gear Heron as well!!;):rolleyes: If I were planning specing-out a fixed gear aircraft for your hanger it would certainly have floats!:p:p

Christian: https://www.rikoooo.com/downloads/viewdownload/68/649 it's worth the download, and THANKS for your comment.

 

Michael, thanks :) Great option, fixed floats on every plane...;)

Awesome set of shots Jan, the scenery is nice and the model is immaculate.

 

Best wishes.

A fine flight in your Heron around the Fiji islands Jan. That scenery is beautiful! Very nicely done. :cool: :cool: :cool: :eek:

Thanks very much Khalid and Larry, it's appreciated :):)

Hmmm. Trouble in Paradise. :mad: Aren't rising sea levels enough for those poor people? :p

I like your little four-engine plane though. Safety in numbers, I always say. :)

I think that's as close to eating fish as you've ever gotten. :eek: -- Bob

Terrific flight and shots around Fiji Jan! :)

Thank you Adam! :)

Bob: that's why I didn't use a float plane! :mad:
