Urgent miner supplies


Stillwater

Recommended Posts

Well, this time the mines are located in a slightly warmer region than what is usually served by Mule Air Team. But at least we hired the same type of freighter to pass over the most urgent necessities that were transported by ship across the Australian Bight to Ceduna/SA.

Across the green South Australian plains...

... into salty areas, ...

... then into more sandy areas, ...

... and, over Tarcoola, even into totally sandy areas.

But here it is, the Opal Capital of the world.

Coober Pedy. They say temperatures are not reported in degrees here, but in "liters to drink without going to the loo". Fortunately our plane was full of beer when we took off.

Karl (FlyingLeaf) is not going to be very happy with you Gerold , taking the Mule Team all the way to OZ . :angry::o:D

Cheers

It seems that Karl @flyingleaf is not monitoring the activities of the Mule Team associates thoroughly. At least he seems to miss this flight from his southern friends.

Is this version 2 Gerold?  They're all magnificent scenic shots!

Sure it is, mate. I am always hesitating until things are settled, but with Australia I could not resist...

Great, Gerold. Looks like you saved the day!

You come to the essence of this flight, Rodger. And even you did not ask for the relation of loaded and unloadable cargo... :blink:;D

Whoa fellows. That's just ain't right:angry:. While these are great shots Gerold it's your load y'all :Phauling that bothers us some. I hope y'all didn't have too much "breakage" like us do when we carry a load'a beers for them Miners. However, at least in Alaska our beer stays cold. :rolleyes::lol::DBye, the bye fellows the Mule Team hired Commander Chris P. Bacon's nephew " Meatloaf":blink: for a new business plan:rolleyes: since we're losing too much money( Do mostly through "breakage":rolleyes::P). Let's see what kind of "brain droppings" he comes up with:lol:. Until then Happy sky's to y"all.  :lol:Remember: Fly Mule Team and get three time the insults.

Splendid set!  Loved the salty areas shot and landing shots.  Well done.

Thanks JJJ. The first part came with nature & Orbx, the second with planning & luck!

Nice little airport!  I need to get exploring v2 more!  Love the livery, too.

Thanks, mate. Don´t forget the airport is upgraded with OZx. Unfortunately the underground mines cannot be represented here (or: they are, but invisible).

I did not have an Australianlivery installed, so I took some other from the ANZAC forces.

Terrific set of shots Gerold! :)  No a whole lot of people living out there looks like. :huh:

Absolutely not, Adam. It would be a nice occasion to meet enough people for a football match out there.

I knew you are the expert on transporting such delicate load, Karl. Don´t you expect a low rate of breakage on the ANZAC-Mule as well, the plane runs less on fuel than on other liquids :ph34r:. But you are right, temperature of the freight is an issue down under.

I am keen to see how the new crew member "Meatloaf" will perform, maybe he is also good in inflight entertainment?
