    ORBX Sale

    Before EOM April I would like to purchase at least one Nature flow/People flow product from ORBX. Does anyone have a recommendation as to which would be best?

    Completely subjective I understand, but right now I'm just closing my eyes and pointing at the screen.

    Tough question. I'm going for all of the PNW strips -- before the bank realizes any thing is amiss But if I only had to pick one, I'd go for the Cushman Meadows/Bear Gulch selection. Two great little strips, one with a wooden bridge as part of the runway, and lots of friendly folks wandering around. But any of them would be a good choice.

    I have Diamond Point and LOVE it! Great traffic, flows, etc.

    It is a difficult landing though. Be prepared.

    I hear alot of Cushman. Thats on my shopping list.

    Hi Bill.
    Don't miss Cushman meadows at the reduced rate, it has Bear Gulch with it that has a few little supprises also.

    I would like to see your face when you try your first landing at the Gulch, you'll see what I mean when you try it!

    1st is Cushman. 2nd is Bear Gulch.

    I have a hard time making a decision. And I don't need any $100 (add-on airports) hamburgers.
    I have NA Blue USA/Canada Pacific Northwest. Not sure if I want a region heading North, or heading East.
    And times a tickin!

    Appreciate all the good advice, but in the end I went with Fall City because it was situated a bit further East, which works out better for me.

    Quite neat watching the trees sway in the breeze. Hard field to find coming over the mountains though!

    Had I seen the logs I might have gone with Cushman.....

    I have now 95% of the Orbx airports, and all the scenery. Spent a small fortune but worth it.
