JGFly - Flight Simulation: World Tour 2 - Leg 66

The previous leg was exhausting, so I decided to rest a bit at Ozernovskiy. In addition to my physical and mental rest, the Baron also needed some tweaking, primarily to fix the broken gauges and indicators. However, I decided to continue my trip along the Kamchatka Peninsula soon, since the clear weather in this region must be used in our advantage.

I don't find any passengers or cargo to transport, so I fly alone, towards the famous volcanoes that are included in the UNESCO World Heritage Site. There are more than 160 along the Peninsula, 29 of them still active, so I hope to enjoy their view, flying not too high if the weather allows it.

So I take off towards the coast, since it looks safer, considering the snow in the runway and the surrounding hills. Amazing views during the departure.

Because of the lack of navigation beacons along the Peninsula, I decide to follow the coast and navigate by following landscape landmarks such as volcanoes and fjords. Initially I fly relatively low, but due to some mild turbulences I decide to climb to 9,500 ft and stay at this altitude for the whole trip.

I reached Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky and Yelizovo, two cities located next to each other that serve as home for more than half of the Kamtchatka population. Honestly, it's quite impressive to see people living in these areas.

The stunning Avachinsky (2,741 m) and Koryaksky (3,456 m) volcanoes, both active, show up next to the cities and I cannot resist flying between them. I continue later towards Zhopanovsky, a set of 4 overlapping volcanoes (2,923 m) that have been active very recently.

Finally, I decide to use the landscape to orient myself towards Milkovo, my destination, located on a flat inland valley between mountains and hills. With clear skies it should be easy to spot, but due to the distances and lack of civilization nearby, I have to be cautious. So I fly first towards Karymsky lake, of volcanic origin and with dramatic changes in pH due to recent activity, and then towards Milkovo.
