Anybody want to come bush flying?? (Sat Night)

Hi all,

I've just taken a little job at the BFU office, not sure when i'm gonna start it yet. But if anybody would like to come along for the ride then your more than welcome.

I will probably start this evening about 8:30 & I will post the server here before I start.

Here's the job:
Fox Camps have just radioed BFU North Base that they are in urgent need of supply runs. A large shipment of food and fishing supplies just arrived yesterday, and has only just been unloaded. This is all at Fox Camp, lying outside the main cabins. The Fox Outposts have run out of supplies. Normally the Fox Camp float planes could do it, but they are down for repairs right now. You need to fly from BFU North in either a floatplane or Helicopter. Once at Fox Camp, load up a full load of supplies (600 lbs). Then head to each of the Fox Outposts, in whatever order makes sense to you.
You need to supply:
Fox Outposts 1,2 and 3.(200 lbs each) Check the GPS to find their locations. Approach at your discretion, but be advised, the approachs can be very hard! (Especailly for a float plane).

At each location, park on the beach near the cabin, then unload the cargo. Take on any trash the outposts may have (a few lbs at each site). When you are done visiting each, fly back to BFU North and unload any trash for shipping out. Then head into the lounge and take a break!

Scenery Required: Fox Camp & Fox23 by Naji Chehabeddine

Foxcamp scenery available here.
BFU North available here.

You don't need to have the scenery, but it sure makes the trip a whole lot more fun.

PS: the camps won't be on any maps or on your GPS, so you may want this crude map I just made up - i'll use the GPS & this map to get where we're going :)

Oh yeah - & plane that floats would be a bonus but not essential ;)

Cheers,

TSC.

ohh.. could be fun, but sadly, my PC is demanded by my parents to be shot down at 9PM CET (8PM GMT), so maybe we can fly this one tommorow?

Cheers Theis

I should be able to join you. Which plane will you be using? I can get downloading it, and the BFU livery.

I'm stuck during the days unfortuantely Theis & I really only get time to fly once my son has gone to bed, which is 8pm GMT. Otherwise I can't fly & keep him out of trouble at the same time. I could do the flight Saturday night, although it would be at roughly the same time as tonight.

Cheers,

TSC.

Hi Tweek,

I will probably be using the Maule Amphib, although this will mean scrimping on fuel to allow for the 600lbs of gear - we can always refuel at one of the camps.

Pilot = 200lbs
Gear= 600lbs

Fuel:
Left Aux = 14%
Left = 25%
Right = 25%
Right Aux = 14%

& Thies, let me know if you can get an extension on your time for tomorrow night & I will do the flight then if thats ok.

Sorry for the late reply guys - kids - who'd have 'em ::)

Cheers,

TSC.

FINAL REVISION:

Just checked & the Maule is no good, I will have to take the Super Otter instead.

Will be using Bushnet2 at 66.75.27.105 (on port 23456)

Hi Tweek,

I'm just waiting on a reply from Theis (I've PM'd him) to see if he can fly it tomorrow night, when would you rather fly tonight or tomorrow??

Cheers,

TSC.

EDIT: Well Theis seems to be offline for the night now, so if you can fly tomorrow night i'll make sure i'm ready for 20:30 GMT.

As a revision, I will be flying the DHC3 Super Otter (Available at nonodes & BFU linked here). But you can fly whatever you like.

Flight is set for Sat 26th Nov. 20:30GMT - departing BFU North (14nm from PANT)

Hi TSC... ;D...!

...as you very well know, I'm always up for a bit of examination in the area of the "Bush"... :-*...!
LOL...!

A trip in the trusty DH Beaver wheel/float plane is always fun.
Harrison Ford (Star Wars) owns one, so he is obviously interested in "Bushes" as well...?
...aren't we all?
LOL...!

Catchya there... ;)...!

Paul...what can I say... ;D...?...LOL...!

Alaska...Andrew Esselbach's favourite flying region... 8)...!

Hi Theis... ;D...!

Your Dad is obviously having to work hard to earn enough money to pay for your Internet access and Flight Simming....
...and house, and feed and clothe you...for free...every day...!
He's obviously got fed-up with this arrangement, and decided that it's time you got yourself a flat and fed and clothed yourself, and paid for your own Internet access... :'(...!
Tee-Hee... ;D...!

Paul...am I right...or am I right?... ;D...!
LOL... ;D...!
