BUFFALO C-46 approaching!

***Wild Bill Kelso*** · October 17th, 2009, 06:24

Coming up next:

Starting at CYHY Hay River in quite lousy weather...

2000 ft above Great Slave Lake...

with some nice aurora borealis.

Finally made it to CYFR Ft. Resolution.
Fully loaded, I nearly rammed this whale into the unpaved airstrip. Think my brakes need to cool down now...

Thanks to
Libardo Guzman, Greg Pepper, and Tom Gibson
for this awesome piece of aviation history and
Peter Ham and Sidney Schwartz
for your nice scenery set!

Cheers,
Markus.

That's just an absolute beauty, Markus! I had retired my C-46 to the hangar, a while back, but it's obviously gonna have to come out of mothballs now!

Oooooooh! I love flying that plane and love the Buffalo Airways colors. Is it done yet?

Thank you, gents!

I'll have to fiddle some more on neccessary details:
The completely redone bare metal top and its panel lines and alpha shine still needs some tweaking, same goes for the grey belly.

But I think I'll have her up within the following days.

Cheers,
Markus.
