Clear Day in Calgary-City in the Canadian Rockies

Hello IFC! Today I decided to take the the TBM out for a spin and fly a fun and scenic route to Banff. Banff is a beautiful town located in the middle of the Canadian Rockies and is home to one of the most beautiful lakes I’ve ever seen, Lake Louise . I discovered Banff a few months ago, and ever since, I have wanted to go so badly. But until then, I can fly to, and enjoy the beautiful scenery of Banff in IF. Hope y’all enjoy these pictures!

This man is now my favorite. I have never seen Banff on here.

BTW, you should’ve took off from CYBW, that is where most GA aircraft are.

Nice photos love the moon shot. Wish I could get moon shots but my moons are never that big

You have to all the way back; extremely distant from your object. When you zoom towards your objects, it’s like the moon is it’s actual size.

Nice pics! Banff is wonderful, I’ve been there myself! Here are my pictures from Lake Louise and Lake Moraine this past summer:

@CaptainLeo1
Thank you! Basically how I do it is, I use free cam, fly far away from my plane, and line up my plane with the moon, then I tap my screen to zoom in and get the angle I want, and then screenshot it🙂

@Alex_L
Oh ok I didn’t know that lol. Yea I’m pretty surprised Banff hasn’t been shown on here before. Thanks!

@Pertonics
Thank you!

@Suhas
No way! You’re so lucky. I have always wanted to canoe on Lake Louise. What an absolutely beautiful place for sure. Thank you!
