Part 1 here: http://www.simviation.com/cgi-bin/yabb/ ... 1142118178

It almost impossible trying to control this  old bird, It rocked violently back and forth.  I hoped the cargo wasn't to fragel.  After about an hour of white nucle flying, we neared the BFU British Columbia base.  I went to turn on the landing lights, and right when I did so, the whole plane went dark.   Oh S**t.  It was going to take a miracle to land this plane safely.
Image
By the grace of God, Budda, Bhraman,  Allah, or who ever is calling the shots up there.  We taxied over to the lodging and  slept.
Image
The next mourning, the snow and wind had not stoped. Over the night, the machanics had fixed the lights, so we were off.
Image
I didn't want to take any chances this time.  I flew above the clouds.  The turbulance got worse and worse as we went higher.  Then, all of the suddent,  we made it.  We broke  through the cloud cover.  And just in time for the sun-rise.
Image
After that it was a pretty unevenful flight.  When we got to BFUN, I pulled up to the dock.
Image
I got out of the plane and told the guy who was unloading the gear: "It would have been easier to DRIVE it up here."

Thanks.  I used to just fly the biggest planes I could find around cities or the oceans in the gmae, or flying smaller jets aroundand trying to see how many times I could loop without hitting the gorund.  That got bouring realy fast.  So I desided to explorer the bush.
