FlightNight July 5th - Alberta Bound

Hello all!

Flight Night this week will involve some beautiful scenery and even better flying in the Canadian national parks just West of Calgary.

We'll be starting at Banff, 8pm UK time, and heading up the river to enjoy the gorgeous sights at Lakes Moraine and Louise. Then cruising through the Banff National park. Half time will be at Golden and then we'll finish the evening off to the West.

A flightplan is available here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/17RW-s-L0_PcqZH_lWMDr3fH3wYf0PZnk/ for the main points to help with scenery gathering but it doesn't reflect the route on the night.

and a custom version of the very enjoyable Wilga "Drako" version (Look up Mike Patey on youtube) is available here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nNbBcTb0C7DM-9UKXsToiefzCu7xgmZi

    So, are we all flying the Drako or a similar aircraft? Starting point CYBA, Correct?

    I'd like to bring my Storch if it'll fit the venue.

  • Oooh the Storch! there's a cool option.

    Drako or the Storch it is. I wasn't going to say no to that one. I suppose people could always bring a Lysander if they can find a nice one?

  • Man, the scenery looks great! Super thanks for the planning and scenery, guys!

  • Scenery Download doesn't work for me: I logged into google drive, clicked download, get info that file gets compressed - then nothing happens. What is wrong?

  • Mine took forever to get zipped and begin downloading....seems like it has stalled but it took almost 20 minutes to get it compressed for me.

    VooDoo

  • The download simply won't start after the compressing anouncement vanishes ...

  • Mine worked fine, it split across 2 zips but it worked. - I am using Waterfox (Firefox based browser).

  • Got it with Edge. Some odd Firefox issue. See you in Canada!

  • Sometimes it can be a clusterfuck, but it sorts itself out in the end for me. My only gripe, is the file structure could be more unified.
