Hurry up and wait...

Postby Flying Trucker » Mon Apr 04, 2011 11:34 am

Goodly afternoon all... :)

Hurry up and wait...or...Time to Spare...Go by Air

FSX and Vista
FS Water Configurator set to Glassy Water
Weather:  Fog
3D Lights
HDE
Aircraft:  Beech 18 amphibian
Location:  Ganges Harbour "CAX6"
                British Columbia...Canada
Mostly all Freeware right here at Simviation... ;)

It is not all "Balls to the Wall Boys" meaning Pitch, Throttle and Mixture full forward to the firewall... :)

Patience is one of the most important traits an aviator can have.  Many times you only get to make one mistake...I know I should have been a cook... ;D

The old flying geezer (all of twenty-three years old) is with his First Officer (all of nineteen years old)... :)

Breakfast over...eight slices of bacon, three eggs, fried tators with onions and celery, heaping plate of beans in molasses, grapefruit juice, three coffees with lots of cream and sugar and lots of rye bread toasted and buttered... ;)

Quiet and peaceful...time to light the pipe and relax...

Dock hands are arriving...that is a good sign...

Okay number one...let's talk
Fog...yes it is burning off
Do we have enough room for a takeoff run?
What if we lost an engine on climb through the fog...where is the water and where are the hills?
Do you really want to make that kind of a letdown on water?
Image

What's the rush...let's continue with the briefing...we don't have our limits yet...
Image

Well done number one...you got your takeoff limits...my pipe is done...get the engines on and let's deliver these Beans...

Comments and advice most welcome... :)

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.
