Piper Around the Patch

Some shots flying the Piper Cub around Saginaw Intl., Michigan. Always a fun aircraft to fly, but I had to take the skis off before I could (last time I flew it was in February!) - fortunately it was still in annual. ; )

It's an old abandoned runway (and some taxiway) from the 1940's, at Saginaw International, overgrown with trees and weeds, etc. It is all part of the KMBS scenery by Turbulent Designs. The main airport is big enough to fly anything in and out of, but this old abandoned section of the airport grounds is really fun to fly in/out of with such an aircraft as the Cub.
 
Thanks for that:encouragement:

Certainly looks more fun than main airport (any main airport for that matter):biggrin-new:

Without the Cub, the first pic could be a photo found on that "Abandoned Airfields" site.
 
Thanks John- all I have is Prepar3D v4 now, so it's important that it works in that.... a pity... especially with the current sale... :(

Ta!

A slow ride in a Cub around the area, with your girl, is always a moment to remember. Ask not.
 
It took me four days to hitchhike from Saginaw...

Spent 4 years in Saginaw prior to moving to AZ in 1973. A company town back then...GM. There was the Steering Gear division and Fisher Body.
Never wanted to go back there.

Here are some screenshots from another recent flight, taking the Lyon Air Museum's highly polished B-17 out for a flight from Santa Ana to Chino (in a roundabout way).
