poko Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 (edited) 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: Taking off from Stewart: Checking out the glacier!: Destination just around the bend ahead: the bend: Arriving at Kincolith: At the dock: Hope you enjoyed!

Rupert Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 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!! ;) Michael Being an old chopper guy I usually fly low and slow.

BTW: Jan, that canoe might be considered an essential when you attempt to fly over the water!! ;) Michael 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: Gary Edited February 3, 2020 by poko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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!

peer01 Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 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... [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azzaro Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 First I thought, "Hey! Canoes can't fly!" Then you proved me wrong. :p A great choice of planes and some very nice scenery.

poko Posted February 4, 2020 Author Share Posted February 4, 2020 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! :)Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 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?"
