Roundtrip from Prata Airport to Second Norway Lufthavn, part 2

Finally on board the Embraer Phonom 300 and flying over the open seas to the Second Norway Lufthavn.

Herr Kranfel announced that we have 3 minutes of fuel left, however we were still about 5 sims away from landing. What? Who would fly a long distance route without fueling first? At this point I start to wonder, who is this pilot?
But hurrah, we made it on the fumes just in time and it was great to be on the ground again.

If you want to read all about Second Norway Lufthavn just click on the link. It has some amazing photographs and a ton of information. In fact if you love aviation, it has everything you want to know about Second Life Aviation.

The nice pilot "Christian" from Bull Air Airlines offered us to take a trip on their plane, but we were heading back to Prata Airport after a short stay here. And that's no Bull.

A smooth flight and we are back in the tropical forest at Lago de Prato. 

You would think the adventure ends here, but no it does not. Herr Kranfel wanted to also show off his sailing skills and believe it or not you can sail from this airport to the Blake Sea and all the destinations connected from there.

For some reason we did not get far and ended up at the Sailors Cove South in the Cooper Creek Wilderness. This is also a beautiful place to explore, you have to see it and visit this place soon.



The trip ended here...and oh what a hero saving me from the croc OR is he feeding me to that hungry beast?

Roundtrip from Prata Airport to Second Norway Lufthavn, part 1

I would first recommend a good pilot because Prata Airport is located in the deep rain forest. 
"you'll find a dirt runway nearly overtaken by cliffs and trees. You will be able to enjoy beautiful scenery, mini golf, horseback riding, even river kayaking. Flying lessons offered every Saturday to anyone interested in learning how to fly and about the aviation community!"

I trusted my Avi-life to Herr Kranfel who gave me a sample helicopter ride over the airport and rain forest.

I was trying to negotiate the price for this flight at the Rainforest Vacation Restaurant to the Second Norway Lufthavn with some "footsies" .


But I had to use a bit more savaged approach. After all this is the jungle out here.

I want to go somewhere



I love planes and airports, even here in Second Life you can find many of them. I came across this one in a far away place.
I really feel I have to get away sometimes and it would be cool to just fly away.If you know of some cool places why don't you suggest them to me and I will travel there and post them here on the blog.


Location: Tierra de Fuego

Black Forest Hot Springs

This is a place that we will explore a little more the next time we have time. We just happen to take a little break and stumbled upon this place.

If you like WWII dog fights, then this is the place to go. You can fly the little planes and fight. We didn't get around doing this, but watched the others on this sim have a lot of fun doing it.

We did try our own planes and found out that our skills are nothing to scream about. Well, I did scream going down into the water.


I think Vauhn is going down...lol
Anyway go visit this place when you get a chance.
Here is the flight....

Hollywood Airport

Still have flying on my mind, so I stopped by the Hollywood Airport. If you never tried flying, you may want to stop by here and check out the planes that are coming and going and maybe try one of the free planes yourself.
They also play some pretty cool tunes there.

Micheal even got a tour on a helicopter :) And he survived....so check it out soon.
