Hurry up and wait...

Postby Flying Trucker » Tue Mar 23, 2010 11:52 am

Goodly afternoon all... :)

FSX and Vista
FS Water Configurator
HDE Clouds
Cape Pole (Z71) Alaska...MoCat's Snow Dog Tours
DeHavilland DHC-2 Beaver
Freeware all right here at Simviation

So you want to be an aviator eh?  Oh a Bush Pilot at that.

Well here is what a lot of it is all about. 

Just like the title says...."Hurry up and wait"... ;D

Beached on ramp last night as water was too shallow for Beaver...easier to load...overnighted
Loaded and waiting for fog to lift.

It is foggy like this quite a bit...no problem taking off but what if you lose an engine on take-off in the fog...where are the hills?

Fog is gone.
So are the dock boys...probably filling their bellies with bacon, beans, eggs, toast and lots of hot coffee.
I just knew I should have been a truck driver.   ;D    ::)

Thanks for looking, comments and advice most welcome.   ;)

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

I do not knock flying however I do try to point out to all the young folks and some others that aviation is not all money in the bank.

Goodly morning all... :)

It used to drive the Operations Manager, Dispatcher and Sales Staff nuts when I would walk through looking at all the passengers waiting and say out loud:
"Time to spare...go by air".... ;D
