A short flight from Stewart SPB (CAC9) to Kincolith SPB (CBA3) at the mouth of the Nass Bay, in a Lionheart Creations Fairchild 24.

 

Quick edit: I forgot to mention this is not the "default" canoe that comes with the Fairchild, I tweaked the .dds a little so it looks like I could afford an *upgraded* model!

 

When flying a canoe in FSX please ensure it is properly strapped down:

Gary - Very nice presentation! Great aircraft and the scenery is superb!

 

Rick :cool:

 

Thank you Rick! The Fairchild is my go to plane for leisure flying! And the scenery is to many Orbx products than I can recall!

 

Great post Gary, pics are all outstanding! :cool::cool::cool: Will you stay away from Amsterdam with that canoe! :mad:

 

Thank you Jan!

Hey Gary,

 

That fancy canoe is truly over the top!! Great scenery as well!! And like you, I don't even want to know how much ORBX scenery I've bought over the years!!

 

BTW: Jan, that canoe might be considered an essential when you attempt to fly over the water!! ;)

Being an old chopper guy I usually fly low and slow.

Thank you Michael! When it comes to the Orbx scenery my biggest gripe is when I fly out of an Orbx region and start hitting the default scenery, mind you the "Global" products have even softened that blow.

 

Yeah, but not through my roof! :mad:

 

But I'm pretty sure I've strapped it down properly Jan...... I think :):rolleyes:

 

 

Fantastic!

With that combo, it'd take bad weather to ever come back! Looks great!

 

Thank you Macroburst! My excuse when the weather gets back is that I can't fly with in it with a canoe so I have to stay out :cool:

Never mess with a von Peerhoven! I invested some money:

 

ROFLMAO!

 

Think Joe Pesci in the movie Home Alone when you read this next line:

 

Jan, what are you doing?

 

If you fire that thing there will be little pieces of that canoe on every roof in the Netherlands!

There was no "read me" with the gun (was a real bargain) , so I'm a little worried about the outcome when I fire it. Can you make some low and slow passes please? :) Thanks! Edit: perhaps you better wear a parachute...

First I thought, "Hey! Canoes can't fly!" Then you proved me wrong. :p

A great choice of planes and some very nice scenery. Whatever floats (or flies) your boat. :) -- Bob

 

p.s. Don't worry about that Dutch guy, he's all bark and no bite. :D

I can't believe it! One little post on Flightsim and the canoe business is booming!

After posting yesterday I left Kincolith and headed for Pender Harbour (CAG8), by the time

I arrived there word had flown there faster than I had! They were lined up like a horde of mindless zombies

hoping to fly with "the canoe"

Word of "the canoe" had even reached the Kayakers who couldn't resist sneaking a peek!

Liking the aircraft and canoe! Oh, oh....joke time: Three guys hiking in the Canadian wilderness send a message back to base camp "Need 3 punts and a canoe" The basecamp messages back "Women on the way, but what the hell is a panoe?"

Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer!  ✈️
