Doing a recon flight of Vancouver Island in the Flight Replica CAC Boomerang, which, I might add, is a beautiful FSX plane. The WBS P-39 thread got me all spun up about these unsung heros, planes and pilots, holding the line against overwhelming odds, until the glamorous supermodels (P-51s, P-47s, F4Us) came along to win the war. Anyhow, I'm looking for a picturesque hideaway airport and decided Vancouver had to have just what I wanted. These pics show the first leg from Sekiu, WA (11S), across the Juan De Fuca Straight, over the southern end of Vancouver, to my first landing at Alberni Valley Regional (CBS8). It was a very pretty flight, but I haven't found exactly what I'm looking for yet. The ORBX PNW Scenery helps a lot here...
