Beech D-18 'itch' again...Willy's fault!

Fear not Magoo, "Willy's softening" really means 'considering'. You obviously know him better than I do! But I realised from the start that Willy aint to be taken lightly. Firstly, he's a 'prop' man.
And we all know that jets are toys for boys...props are planes for men. Don't we? Maybe he has a heart of 44carat but he's as tough on the outside as hi-tech titanium. But I've been through that already.

Hey Willy, what's this 'med' business? Is this some new covert secret coding to put me off the scent...? What's going on around here? Something's going down, Yeah, and where's Tom Clayton EH?

Where are they hiding him? Or has he made a run for it too?...that's it!

He's legged it with Milton Shupe I bets. Kinda watching his back from all the loonies here! How does it go now?...Er 'scuse me Mr Shupe when ya gonna do sutchnsutcha version of the Dash 7, ya know... the one with 35,500 rivets on the port wingtip that YOU forgot to give us wretches!

WIP...yeah sure I know now, that's what they use on the poor guy to make sure he gives them what they want. And has he ever said NO? Never! Because when they want something they call him MR. And being the gentleman he is, he never refuses.

Jesus wept! He gave you all the Dash 7 yonks ago and how many re-paints did he get in return for all his sweat and tears? What more do they want from him! So the guy's kinda worn out, needs a break, switch off and think things out little. And as soon as his back's turned along comes some 'imposer' using Milton's name and starts writing wierd stuff about 'nudies are good from the start' and all that. Then he starts saying that as soon as Milton is back he'll even make a-7 where you can stash things in. Ya know, bit like an attic.

:USA-flag:But Willy its down to the two of us now! You're the only guy I trust round here now. Apart from Rami who's also up on the 'missing' list. They're dropping like flies pal...first Smoothie, then Tom, now poor Rami!
 
I'm just not getting through to you guys, am I? Don't you see?
Its not what you do for the 'sign up here' bloke. It's who you know!

Now they're taking it out on this poor guy Crusader! Why?....Why,Why,Why?

BECAUSE THIS INNOCENT FELLOW DECIDED TO EXPAND HIS COLLECTION OF
BEECH 18S A M P H I B I A N repaints

You see Crusader I now have a key to OZ!Yes Siree! It came in my mailbox this morning.
Thought it was another bluff. NO! I now proudly own the 66 repaints, the whole 157 mBugger lot! How? Because I went PUBLIC and threatened those responsible at SOH with this:

The secret is to fill in the register thoroughly and SLOWLY. No spaces if using two word names.
Then when you submit each stage (three I think) on pressing submit WAIT it takes sometime.
Patience Cusader!

All is well . I sent a very polite email(honestly) and got a VERY quick response back(Jerry?) and he reset my password . I've been PC'ing and flightsiming since the FS-3 days and although I've heard of Com-Central , I for some reason , never got involved with it . Boy have I been missing out . Really like this site .

Having recently re-installed FS9 after shall we say a minor mishap (dont ever pull the power cable out of the socket with the computer running), the Beech 18 was one of the first to be re-installed and thanks to this thread, my interest in the type has grown again.

I've managed to download the Com-Central repaint package, and have been trying a few of them out - superb stuff indeed, but thought that one of the 18s that have sampled a lot in real life would have been included and it wasnt.

This was Beech Expeditor 3NM G-BKGM/N5063N that for years was the 'Mother Ship' for the British based Harvard Formation Team based at North Weald. I had quite a few flights in her over the years and would be very interested to know if such a scheme does exist for FS2004?

Happy Landings,

Don't think I've ever seen that one and wouldn't mind having it myself. Good RAF paints for the Twin Beech are rather scarce.

Flight 19 did a ferry flight across the North Atlantic a while back and I settled for a RCAF paint due to not having a decent RAF one.
 
Bermuda Triangle!

Willy, T6flyer seems 'okay' so is Crusader! I think we can trust them, they're on our side (they like the Beech). Boy! Did you see what they did to his power cable? These guys are ruthless and will stop at nothing! But at least they didn't get his Beech: T6flyer must be a few steps ahead I reckon.
Just don't believe anything any of those 'others' tell you about Flight 19 buddy, they're just trying to keep the truth from you:

1) Because you've got the Beech 18s repaints.

2) Because they know both of us will do our uttermost to promote this excellent plane.

You see my dear fellow, Flight 19 ceased to exist decades ago! And it wasn't a ferry flight, but a navigation exercise. I have 'detailed files' on this (which I will confidentially pass on to you in due course).
They disappeared near Bermuda Willy. Simply disappeared!
...and so did the amphibian that went searching for them! It may have been one of them 'big red and white jobs' which were painted dark blue then, to put...you 'know who' of their scent.
But the official statement said: PBY. (I didn't buy that)

I tell you Willy, there's wierd things going on around here lately!

As always, while Milton and Tom are 'away' and you're on treble 'watch', please do the usual and delete any sensitive material here before 'releasing' this post.

Watch your back mate, I'll be lookin' out for ya!
