- Welcome to Dogs Of War Vu.
Had a flight on the board for the DC-3 today that was to run some dry goods up to Whitehorse, along with some engine parts. I think there was even a goat back there but I can't say for sure. Could have sworn I heard it though.
Anyway we took off out of Yakutat about 3pm local time. The weather was pretty shotty on our side of the mountains, rain and low clouds but things looked to be pretty clear if we could get above it over the mountains.
Leaving PAYA
Got her up off the ground and making a turn, heading for ALATY as part of our route before turning towards the mountains.
Great flight so far. We are at altitude now and starting to get into the mountains. Well above the weather now.
Making our way through the mountains now cruising about 9000FT.
Really can't believe how great the clouds look with this new version of ActiveSky. The layering is something you never seen in the last version. At least I sure didnt.
Here we are coming out of the mountains. Nice to see a little green again 
Getting close to making the turn for Whitehorse now. Just beautiful weather, getting into some clouds now but im not caring too much 
Lining up on final for Whitehorse. Was a great long flight. I dont recall

DCS: F-5E Tiger II by Belsimtek - Early Access
Belsimtek, a third party developer for DCS World has released an early access version of its F-5E Tiger II module.
For US $ 59.99, you get a study sim that is in pretty good shape for an early access version. With working cockpit switches, avionics and target acquisition systems, this is a study simulation
The multiple panels and switches will require some study time. But overall this is a simple aircraft and if you have been flying study flight sims, you can almost teach yourself.
Just like several sources account for the real Tiger, Belsimtek's F-5 is a very agile, fast and forgiving combat aircraft.

Flashpoint Latvia Episode 4 - Falcon 4 BMS - Recon
This series is completely fictional. No political point is intended.
Things are shaping up for an unwanted conflict with Russia. SIGINT has reported comms consistent with administrative movement of a Russian armor force in the Pskov Oblast, Russia. Two F-16AMs from the Royal Danish Air Force stationed in Siauliai Airbase (Lithuania) were tasked with a reconnaissance mission of this Russian force.
One of the two Danish F-16AMs on their way to the area of interest.
The TGP near the centerline has been deemed as able to acquire targets from 10 miles and below. Because the area of interest is some 25 miles into Russian territory, it will be impossible not to violate Russian airspace to identify the Russian forces. Note the GBU-31 bombs, intended as a provocation to the Russians.
Targets -Russian tanks, T-90s, battalion size- identified! Range was ~9 miles. NATO has officially violated Russian airspace now.
Although the Russians didn't turn on their integrated air defense systems in the area, the organic anti-aerial assets of the Russian tank battalion started to track the Danish F-16s. The pilots decided to pull out at relatively...
