flyingleaf Posted June 27, 2020 Author Share Posted June 27, 2020 Wel John. You're right I didn't even wanted to post it. It would be close to a Trans Atlantic flight with Hilda and T-Bone singing during the whole flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TerribleT Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Haven't got a clue mate apart from being fairly close to the fundamental of that C47 .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olderndirt Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Looks like you're landing long on a short runway and the missed approach weather looks yukky (mountains that outclimb a C47). Of course we know this is bona fide Orbx scenery so that really narrows the field but, tempting as the offered prizes are, believe I'll pass.

She's looking for her bathing suit now that a "heatwave" is here in Alaska. Yeah I ain't kidding it reached 39 degrees hereand T-Bone isn't man enough to tell her that he was using it as a cold weather blanket for one of our engines a few weeks ago. Oh boy. And heck neither am I.So my advise to is mebby wait a little while and let her"cool" down before y'all meet her. Cheers k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup that's an Alaskan heatwave. But who knows could git really hot next week 49 F. But seriously your temps are not very nice. Reminds me of the humidity in beautiful Chicago and that wasn't very nice. Come out of the shower and I wanna go right back into it. Here in Langley it's 60 F with a cool breeze. Not bad and good for sleeping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta go early so I hit all the spider webs, have to wear Off or the mosquitoes will drain me, debris in my boots because wearing shorts, snakes, winter is so much better.

To show you guys how fair we are, we the Mule Team have decided that you Gerold are the winner of our first price. The time now is 18:43 hrs. and you have precisely three hours to present yourself at the Mule Team counter in McCarthy , AK at 21:43 hrs. for a night flight to Valdez, AK. The reason for this is the tower boys go for a beer at that time and we don't have to argue or get permission to take off. You may not see too much but it's a lotta fun. We've done that flight hundreds of times and made it "most" of the time Hope to see you on board you lucky guy. (Ps: Bring your own beer we only have 34 left). Stay safe my brothers and sisters. k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am incredibly happy to meet the Mule Team soon and get proper on board service. Will come in with a 777 freighter full of cooled steaks and warm beer, so all I need is getting both to the correct temperature by the Alaskan experts. See ya!
