Picking up the stragglers
Posted: Tue Dec 27, 2005 1:50 pmHi all,
Just a quick post from my BFU job over the holidays.
The Job:
[quote]A couple BFU pilots got a break from the harsh conditions up at BFU Red Lake and spent the holiday (Is it still safe to publicly say Christmas?) weekend down at Winnipeg. The Air Boss being the frugal sort he is, made them catch a ride on a Friday cargo run rather than free fly one of the BFU birds down. Now they need a lift back up to Red Lake. You can pick them up when you make a mail run to Winnipeg. The Boss also trie to save airport fees by staying away from Winnipeg Intl as much as possible. You are directed to utilize St. Andrews Airport just outside Winnipeg unless weather forces you to Winnipeg Intl..
Mission:
1. Fly from BFU Red Lake (CYRL) or your current location to St. Andrews (CYAV) with 50 pounds of mail.
2. Drop off the mail and pick up 250 pounds of return mail and supplies along with the two hung over pilots.
3. Return back to BFU Red Lake.
Aircraft: Any plane capable of carrying pilot, passengers, and cargo.
Weather: Real
Date & Time: Pilot
