It is hard to identify too many rivers in middle of huge Aussie desert that do not have waypoints but I think it is Finke river!

Nice plane and fantastic light, Aharon. The mountains could not be Kata Tjuta, could it?

 

@Stillwater,

 

Thank you for your kind words.

 

You are indeed CORRECT!!  By the way, for all the viewers of this flight report, the mountains that Google map was unable to identify are called 4,000 ft high Olgas mountains also known as Kata Tjuta according to one flight simmer who had flown to the YAYE Ayers Rock airport in real life many times.

 

Regards,

 

Aharon
