WP3 - Fortun Hydro-Electric. 07. WP3 - RW. 08. Overflying ENLB - Bjorli, EN-Route to WP4. 09. WP4 - RW. 10. Flying past Rindal and WP5. 11. And the rain returns just when I'm thinking about approach and landing. 12. Descending for ENFA circuit. 13. Turning downwind leg for ENFA. 14. Battered and Bruised but almost there. 15. Leg 4 done. I need a Dram or three. Cheers Guys. This was my second time at flying Leg 4 because P3D decided to crash as I was on approach for ENFA. Today it went better but not time-wise I fear. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Coffee 2,030 Posted April 7, 2018 Report Share Posted April 7, 2018 (edited) Looked like brutal weather Brian. Really liked your real world look at the waypoints, at least one wonders if the planner is attracted to power... Edited April 7, 2018 by Captain Coffee Link to post Share on other sites

As we have done lighthouses in the past on MEBAR, Andrew gave the strapline of 'Feel the Power' to this years event. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
brett 2,283 Posted April 7, 2018 Report Share Posted April 7, 2018 Great looking PIREP there Brian, you really brought the scenery home. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Goblin 51 Posted April 8, 2018 Report Share Posted April 8, 2018 Oh, good lord! I'm embarrassed to say that I've only just figured out what "Feel the Power" means. And I'm an electrical engineer for crying out loud! Great set of pics there Brian! As I was looking at them I was thinking, "Hmm, there sure are a lot of hydro-electric sites here. Huh, what's with all the power stations?" DOH! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
needles 1,010 Posted April 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2018 No worries Mike, having done a couple of previous MEBARs I knew that the subtitle meant something. A previous one was 'See the Light', in that one we were looking for lighthouses. It's good fun but this years event proved pretty fruitless in terms of actual 3D models of power stations so I went looking for the images on line instead. Watch out in future for Andrews sub title or strapline it always has a hidden meaning of some description. Cheers Brian Link to post Share on other sites
