...you shouldn't swim in jeans.
My grandkids are a bit too young for the simulator, but they do like the 'Pop Corn' avatar. I've been hoping to make a landing video at this airfield to show EZdok in Prepar3d, but there's been a nasty crosswind today -- very easy to end up tangled in the fence.
They find the jumping avatar hilarious. Plus we took him for a swim, he's quite good at body-surfing.

Wait till you're a grandfather...

That's Neil's Beach from the subscription. I've realised over Xmas that although I'll release most of the Sub photoscenery as stand-alone Real NZ releases, I hadn't thought about the little airfields, so I am thinking of tweaking them a little and releasing as freeware. Certainly not much to see at any of them, but flying into this one in particular, with it's bumpy runway and EZdok's shake, is a cool experience.

Tweaks could include SODE windsocks, but I'm not really sure that SODE isn't a bit overkill for a couple of freeware grass strips. It would also be great to open one of the gates, at the moment you need to pretend that the gate is open to taxi to taxi to the bach... And SODE could even let you open the gate yourself.

Ouch, sorry, not Neil's Beach at all, that's up the road a bit -- I had to reread the issue 1 manual to get it right -- this is Mussel Point. NZKL3 in the sub, I think.
