adrians69 159 Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 Here's some pics of an unusual BAv flight I recently did. Glasgow EGPF to Barra EGPR in the Outer Hebrides. Landing at the airport on a beach runway was a new experience! Here we are on the ramp at Glasgow loading passengers/bags: Shortly after leaving Glasgow on Rwy 5: The weather took a turn for the worse crossing the sea: Parked at the Barra terminal: The beach landing area: Hope you enjoy! 1 Link to post Share on other sites

brett 2,315 Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 I like the Aerosoft - Twin Otter Extended and Barra is the perfect place, it's right at home. It think it was the first place I flew to with mine. Nice colorful and crisp shots Adrian. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks hifly, I've seen this one on their site but didn't know if it was any good. You've put my mind at rest now so I think I'll go for it. Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Coffee 2,030 Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 I have that one...it's very fun. Just spotted a RL Islander today for the first time landing at Reed Hillview in San Jose Ca. I find I tend to notice rl versions after buying a virtual version. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
hifly 925 Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 I read that the Islander had the highest number of exports of a UK manufactured plane. 30 years ago I would see one in almost every boondock airfield in Asia. + They were made on the Isle of Wight, my birthplace, so they're sort of in my DNA.

adrians69 159 Posted May 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 I flew on one in Dominican Republic as part of an excursion. It was a great day out, made all the more fun due to the flight. Link to post Share on other sites
