The best thing about low and slow is you get to see all the beautiful scenery that you don't see flying high in commercial liners

For all my low and slow I like to fly in the Tiger Moth which I learned to fly in way back in the 1950s the Auster or the Piper Super Cub all aircraft that I have flown in my younger days.

Great work, Doug.
Lately I've been a bit obsessed with Jean Batten, it's amazing to think of the courage it took to fly something very like this across the world.

Great shots. Is this FSX? Is there any major airport big enough for 737s or 757s or C130s or Dash 7 in this West Coast NZ photoreal ground textures, please?

The scenery works in both FSX and P3D and this flight is in P3D v4
The 737 and 757 are a no go but the C130J and the Dash 7 would both be able to land and takeoff from Westport Runways 04 and 22 1280mtr and Hokitika runways 04 and 22 1378mtr and runways 13 and 31 1206mtr

Dbcunnz,

Does this photoreal ground texture scenery cover areas shown in New Zealand tv show 800 WORDS including the beach where the writer and town people go for surfing?

No the TV show 800 words is in the north Island NZ and the scenery is West Coast South Island.
The scenery is available by going to the NZSCENERY bottom of this post.
