"May 30 0200z Multiplayer Flight Ideas?"

First suggestion:

Tacoma Narrows WA (KTIW) to Tieton State (WA49)
Approximately 103 nm. Route leads under part of Seattle Class B airspace then over 6,940 MSL terrain (near Mt. Rainier) to a mountain valley landing on your choice of a 2,471 ft grass strip or an adjacent lake. Destination altitude 2,961. For a litle bit of chalenge, radio navigation requires use of a VOR/DME (YKM) in line with part of, but not along, the planned route. I haven't made my own ETE calculations, the FS 2004 planner estimates 39 minutes. The simulator's planner seems to frequently be a bit low with its first and final leg ETEs though.

Note that the simulator shows 4S6 for the destination airport code.

Greetings Robert:

2,471' seems pretty short to me--unless we're landing uphill! :)

Sounds good to me, but I wonder about climb performance at that altitude for airplanes that'll land that short. But more than willing to give it a try.

I managed to get a Caravan amphibian to stop before reaching the trees. OK I did go a few yards past the official "runway", but my touchdown was a bit long. There's plenty of room in the lake, but to taxi betwen the lake shore and the field you might end up having to thread your way through the trees.

Sounds OK by me Robert... might even try out my trusty C152. at least no worries about landing (366m) Take off by dicey (408m) Of course would have to leave KTIW early-ish :)
