• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Its 1953 and you are drifting along flights with an Alaskan air freight company but you have been sending your resume all over. You get a letter marked in Montevideo, Uruguay which sends you in a steam ship to that old southern country....what for??? what for you ask!!!!...Amigo you are in the money now!!! --Lineas Aereas Carga Sur--- has hired you fo fly their latest cargo DC6 to lovely cities all over the Continente!!!!!!.....OK, I'll give you all details later on in the mean time set your airport traffic to 0...yea, 0 (cero) you will not want "jets of the future" in any airport in 1953 do you????...start making some touch and goes in your old DC6 so you will be a "tops dude captain" and make sure you know the stall speed of the craft.......Yup!!! these Flights are in the works for everyone but mainly for "old farts" like me, or nearby so. You'll fly the weather either good or ugly in loud reciprocating piston engines shooting blue flames like dragons from long ago......who's game???
