The Paul Pago challenge


Jack Sawyer

Recommended Posts

Well @paulb I did it!  I landed on that Coast Guard cutter.

 

Ready Lieutenant?  Aye sir, what's our mission.  We're to rendezvous with a cutter to pick up the latest haggis recipe.

What's the heading Captain?  About five miles east of Pago

Nah, it's just a fishing boat.  Probably fishing for haggis ingredients.

Crabbing into the wind, gotta enter a hover and then try to match her speed.

Top class post Jack, you had me laughing after the first mention of a Haggis recipe.:lol:

Excellent flying too and you obviously knew just how to go about it the right way, well done.;)

Just be careful with the Haggis recipe though as from what I have heard some sailors have peculiar habits.:ph34r::ph34r:

Sorry to correct you but the third view is of NSTU not LFMN.:wacko:

Wow Jack, what a great and funny set :D And between you and Martyn, I am at my job desk laughing like crazy...people are looking at me...ha! If only they knew. As for haggis, I didn't think sheep roamed the bottom of the Pacific, just sayin'

Thanks Landon!  Glad we could make you laugh, I was laughing out loud too.  At the bottom of the pacific they make shark haggis.  Yum!  :lol:  But everything tastes better in Pagp Pago they say.

I place I haven't visited for a long time either.

It is ok not having visited a place for long time. It is not ok serving dangerous habits to such a great pilot as Jack is - he has just proven it with this post!

Thanks Ken, how about a nice T-bone steak?

Impressive flying indeed Captain Jack. Not easy on a moving target. You deserve two portions of haggis, lucky you!

Thanks kind sir, yum!  Two portions!  :blink:
