Hello Allan and all pilots,
while flightplanning to these great destinations, I think I found some little mistakes in the flight information document (SNAR2018_Flightplans.pdf), which I'm listing hereunder : - LEG 8 : after take-off from ENRM, we don't want to track to Vaernes airport ENVA for a touch and go (this was copied from LEG 7), but to Bodo ENBO - LEG 9 : after take-off from ENRM, we don't want to track to Vaernes airport ENVA for a touch and go (this was copied from LEG 7), but I cannot find out from the map if there will be a touch and go during this leg ; what I know is that we don't need arrival info in Bodo ENBO, and have to track to Tromso ENTC, not to Mehamn. I did not check the distances and headings and hope that this will be useful for reliable flight planning.
Thanks for all the work putting up these 10 flights. Raphael

Of course, all de-icing systems were on when required, although I don't know whether wing icing has been modelled on this aircraft or not.

Flight 7, from Kake to Haines. I was not parked in this position but of course the nose quickly moved into the (significant) wind Finally some traffic around : one of you guys ? Off to Haines Cruising over Admiralty Island mountains at 10'500 ft Turning to heading 257 over Juneau PAJN Gustavus PAGS More mountains in Chilkat Range Lynn Canal in the background Casement Glacier near Seduction Point Destination in sight Too early as usual, so I decided to have a look at Haines airfield... ...and flew a bit upstream Chilkat River, before turning back to Haines seaplane base. Trying to taxi towards the docks Moored, but it's been a tough job as there wasn't much space

Thank you for this beautiful Rally ! I've been alone drinking my beers at the stop-overs, as all other pilots already left, but I enjoyed the empty skies and silent radio. I might post a few screenshots of flights 6 to 10 while Allan is flying his last legs and updating the roster.

I don't know if I can be of any help for the Ford Tri-motor, but if you're patient I'll be arriving in Yellowknife with at least a few beers and some hot coffee to help waiting for the mechanic. I hope that there will still be northern lights to enjoy. Here is flight 5, from Fort Graham to Stewart. It's still a bit dark when boarding at Fort Graham, but the weather forecast is very optimistic for today's flight to Stewart Lined up Rwy 31 Our PT6 engines are delivering full power for the take-off This time we leave Williston Lake for good and head towards Chase Provincial Park Cruising at 10'500 ft Meziadin Lake Higher peaks surround Cambria icefield as we approach Stewart I spotted a narrow valley for my 7000 ft descent to the Portland Canal - let's push the stick forward Reaching Portland Canal, Stewart airport is on our right As I was a bit early regarding schedule, I continued my descent following Portland Canal to the south... ... then executed a sharp 180° turn between the mountains to head back towards Stewart During final approach to Rwy 36 at Stewart, we can see Salmon River valley and Hyder village on our left - this is Alaska Here is Hyder seaplane base, from where we'll be taking off soon to Kake Short final at Stewart, British Columbia Using a bit of reverse to avoid a turnaround on the runway First aircrafts we see since days Parked near the hangar Our next flight to Hyder seaplane base will only last a minute... See you there.

Hi guys, I'd really like to have a beer with you but I'm running late... Too busy I'm afraid : I just landed in Kake seaplane base yesterday night, and the screenshot business takes time. Here is first leg of flight 4, from Smithers to Mackenzie - already old memories for most of you. Boarding at Smithers under a bright sun Taxiing to Rwy 15 On our way to Mackenzie High range just after departure : this is Babine Mountains Provincial Park, of which highest peak is Mt Cronin at 2384 m ASL Easy flight : lakes below and a few cumulus clouds Williston Lake, while approaching Mackenzie Weather is not correctly displayed when replaying the flight with FSRecorder, that's why there are no clouds on some of my screenshots Final approach to Rwy 16 at Mackenzie Back to original flight weather Welcome to Mackenzie According to the flight plan document, weather should have been "gray and rainy", but I had fairly good weather with scattered cumulus and no rain at all. I wonder if the problem is with the .wx file or my sim. For the second leg onwards to Fort Graham, I manually selected the "cold front" weather theme and enjoyed a bumpy ride through dark clouds, strong gusts and sometimes heavy rain...

Yea I used the Cold Fronts weather theme and sure enough, each time I flew that leg I got rain. P.S. LOVE that we're both flying the Mallard! Such a great aircraft !

Beautiful shots OzWookiee. Funny how the weather conditions can be different between FS9 and P3D. I don't remember flying through any rain during flight 2.
