Adelaide Airport (YPAD) - Port Lincoln (YPLC)
After a long working day I have no intention to "fly the big adventure" but a shorter and slower job like all these commuter aircraft over 1... 1/2 hour only for me and for recreation.
Long time one question for me as European was "Where are all these SAAB-aircraft gone?" Now I know. They are in Australia. The airline with most of this type with 52 examples is
Regional Express Airlines (REX), a competitor for Qantaslink. The only version from the SAAB 340B is from virtualcol, an aircraft for beginners and not a detailed representation, but it does his job.
Today we have a little flight from Adelaide to Port Lincoln. It is not that big thing, around 45 minutes and we have good weather, only some clouds ... I like it, to fly with little aircraft like this not over but "in the weather". A hint: If You have "Active Sky 2016" in use, it is a good idea to use always the theme "full dynamics". You have now a "lively weather" that changed in the background cloud textures proper as for every download of the original weather...





The REX-office in Adelaide...




Underway...







Landing by hand and not Autoland ;-)




o.k., here we are...




The engines still running... and here is an AI-aircraft with the same route only minutes behind us.
