236th X-Plane.org fly-in (Tahiti)

-return to picture archive-

 

Suggested to us by RAFish, our location for this week was the tropical Pacific island of Tahiti in French Polynesia, featuring some of the most dramatic scenery included with the sim. For me, it was also one of the few entirely hand-flown fly-ins, as the A340's autopilot refused to function correctly due to version incompatibility, and the latter two aircraft I flew weren't even equipped with one.
