Thats a big one going off over my departure point.

Found a nice clear path and enjoying the smooth air.

Watching the light fade

Starting our decent.

Tried to land on a flooded runway aquaplaned and stuffed it in the soft ground at the side of the runway.

Mission accomplished !
Aircraft damage ... Write off.
Crew ... Minor injuries.
Cargo ... slightly damaged but still useable.
Lives saved 1000s.

This concludes the report of Captain Eno Louis

Obviously written by personal experiences...

Eno - nice screenshots by themselves, but it's the weaving of the story line that makes them even better.
