What a Find!
Posted: Tue Jun 22, 2004 5:22 pmAs some of you may know im busy completing my first FS9 main goal. I call it Around the World in 80 days, (or so 
) 
As most people seem to post their progress weekly ive decided to upload it when i am finished in different sections. then post it afterwards once or twice a week. it will be a summarised version though. Anyhoo.
On my travels I have made my virtual lifetime discovery.
I landed at a small airfield in the Congo and was greeted by a Panic stricken Arabian buisnessman, or so i thought. It turned out that it was the Sultan of Oman who had been travelling in his brand new Learjet 45. He had gone to open up a new HUB of Oman Air and he would be travelling down to Angola to meet up with some well respected African leaders.
His pilot was sick.
And so he made a lucrative deal with me (to my benefit) that if i could fly him down in his learjet with the co-pilot, his other pilot could fly my AC680 down when he had recovered in a few days. 
I agreed to this and set off at about 5 o Clock local time.
I eventually reached the 4th of Febuary Intl. but was greeted with Landing Lights failure...I thought he told me this was a new plane. ::)
Checked over the Learjet in the morning, made sure all the systems worked. right, off to find someone to look at the Landing lights. wait a minute???
is that....holy moley :o
its a Dehavilland Comet. I hope its not intended for the scrap yard.
On close inspection it looks in good nick. Most likely an old Sudan Airways plane, thay had a few comets. I will be looking into this as well as a mechanic for the lear.
thanks
Ant. I'll tell you how it go's.
