The african outbacks. Difficult to reach by air and even more to land there...Fortunately We have Russians on earth ;D Notorious for their capability to land on rough grounds they are used by several transport companies as well as the UN this one the Ilyushin IL76 "Candid" was used deliver medicines to a remote drop point..

The Office

Started at Cape-town INTL and was held p by some stupid british plane...HELLOO!!! Priority?!!
Image

Ow well were off but a bit off center
Image

Turning over the bay to avoid "Noise pollution"over the city
Image

Ow well steady we go..
Image

Had to make an approach through some mountain passes, so turning in
Image

Phew out safely
Image

This one was made by a aid reliever on the ground..After this the doc was hit by my exhaust smoke ;D
Image

All ended safely and the People got their supplies..






Plane I got from Surclaro. Flies nicely and has a VC,,,VC is mostly just static..No moving gauges and get's blurred from up close..Still quite ok. Have fun!

That's a cool series Soui. I hope the plane comes with a "center line take-off" section in the manual.. ;)

Stunning big bird! Don't worry about the off-center take-off... If it's supposed to land on rough terrain, it can take off from it too!  ;D
