(MSFS) Kaunas (EYKA) - Vilnius (EYVI), Lithuania AB 205 Huey

[hasegawa]

This machine is one of the veterans of helicopter aviation and also - the Vietnam War, the first war in which helicopters were used in large numbers.
This example has been extensively modified, but it is still a replica of the old Huey. I met him in Vietnam in 1986, 11 years after the end of the Vietnam War.
Another point of this flight was finding the old Trakai water castle, one of the most interesting of its kind in the Baltics.

Wonderful post Sir.
Is this all default scenery
?

[hasegawa]

No. The airports are payware and the Trakai water castle is available at flightsim.to But the developers have done a good job with the landscape, such as the coastlines, as far as I can tell. Estonia and, on the other hand, Finland has these incredibly many small islands in the Baltic Sea, you can see that. In Latvia there is the Gauja National Park and in Lithuania there are the shifting dunes. Which are worth seeing. The well-known Baltic amber can also be found there.

I've not got the UH1 / 205 but it amazes me that people can build something like that and look at the blades and think 'yep, that's accurate'... Nice screens but you might want to look at your RPM there...

That's right, I mistreated the hell out of the box.
