interesting , flying default FS9 scenery when arrived at YCCT(#6) and YWBS(#7) to find just a white coral strip surrounded by a corral reef , no land , all under water except the runway ,made for a precision landing to say the least. Carefully turned around and headed to horn island before the runway sunk .

My Bellanca Viking Aircraft history ; this aircraft has special meaning to me as it represents the last airplane my father rebuild an flew . Saw an ad in " Trade a Plane " for a Bellanca Super Viking as is being sold by a collage who closed there flight and A&E program . we borrowed a car trailer from a friend and went to Ohio to pick it up. When we arrived found out why the low price , every thing but fuselage , wings stabilizer were in card board boxes. ( made loading easier) on the way to my dads house it was decided he would go to local area collage at night that still had an A&E course and as he took the class would work on the Viking and have instructor check an sign his work. Also any help other classmates wanted to do would go toward credit. First big hurdle was a fuel tank leak had damaged the laminations of the main spar. this involved complete tear down of wing with out damaging as much wood as possible . next getting proper glue , wood and how to laminate the spar. long story short was 2 years in construction ,dad got his certificate so did the plane. To get it from his house to the airport he took off from the highway in front of the house, M-52 the longest North-South in Michigan. Flew the Viking for 3 years before he had a severe hart attack and could not fly no more. Still loves to talk about passing Mooney's an Bonanza's
