Flight 19 doing the bahrain boogie!

:wavey:Hello everyone!

We are on the go again this time we are on the next to last flight on this mission. We left VLVT Wallay Intl. at Vientiane, LAOS turned around and headed south sort of heading for Phnom Penh Intl. in Cambodia. The flight itself was good, but we needed to climb up over 20,000 feet in order to get over the T/storms that have been raising a little cane over the area for a couple days. We, being Dudley and I, ran into a little rock and roll, and as usual the burp bags were being used by the dozens. After a short period the rock and roll went away, and the flight was as you would be staying in bed for that extra hour of sleep. hehe. Watching the weather radar we were a little concern about what appeared on the radar it showed some heavy cloud formations that maybe a little touchy descended and for our approach. Hehe, Broke thru the cloud layer and the weather was almost perfect. What can I saw flight 19 luck held up again. All made fair landing, but as usual we got a little cross wind and almost needed hit the power and do a go around. Hehe, We closed our eyes and made respectable landing. Nah....can't see any way

airport the rumors float around like a bunch of bees. Sometime the hardest thing is to try to understand the spoken language, Old Dudley does fairly good at some of these languages, but me, I gave up trying to understand most of the conversation, I might as well go the wall and see if it talking. Just a JOKE Mom.

Now, Dudley explained to me what the heck the rumors were. It seem that our next flight will end up a WMKP Penang 1, Malaysia. Where a group of pilots from who knows,refused to fly the multi-engine prop jets types. Boy! Do I have that old feeling coming back. Our never screw up, travel agent. :devilish:If that rascal hear about this there no way he or she would let it past, and away we would go! To where who in the heck would know. You all stay tuned to see what kind of trouble we will get into this time.

So Monday we will leave VDPP and head to WMKP and the unknown. hehe.

You all stay cool, and follow the rules concerning this here nasty virus!

:wavey: Hi, Just a small update. Today we will be taking off for Penanq 1 Malaysia which should be the end of this mission. One thing, we got some orders from the head rabbit's of the company who contracted this mission that we should wait at Penanq 1 for a few days. Well, I know that my time is getting close to run out and to fly now would put my time over the limits for the month of July and the first part of August. Hehe, a good way to lose a pilot license, and then I would need to go to work.:dizzy:


The rumors still persist about the flight crews at Penanq 1 still remain grounded. Sure in the heck don't know the problems are, and now at the present I really don't give a darn. All I know now that it would be good deal to get back the US for us, don't know about the Pilots from our northern neighbor about their feeling about going home.


Ok, we will see sometime after we figure out what's going on!

:wavey: Hi again!

Here we sit enjoying the finer thing at Penanq 1 while waiting for any word on what the heck going on. Word has come through stating that we were to stand down for a few more days, while negations are going on between our travel agent and whoever, the other side is.:banghead:

As we have noted in pervious posts that the other side have been having problem with the aircraft crews to fly. Shuck, the real situation is that they, the other side, is having trouble finding qualified pilots for the job that sure sounds strange to me, but who in the heck would know.

Knowing our fearless travel agent, I believe, we might be taking a trip to somewhere unknown at the present time. If that is the case I might as say farewell to my little vacation that I have been planning. Believe me, this isn't the first time my vacation plans were thrown into the trash, now if our travel agent wins the negations these plans will go to the trash! You know, with all the bull a person should could take up drinking some of the local brew. hehe. :very_drunk:

Here hopping things will be resolved sometime soon. Strange as it may sound we all are getting a little bored with this situation! Whatever, we will or should be in the air shortly. :running:


:pirate:me, hehe
 
:biggrin-new:
Hey Howdy everyone.

Hot Dog! we got a little bit of news yesterday concerning our situation here at Penang 1 Intl. Airport. The word is, hehe that we are taking those cargo flights to where I don't know as yet. It's going to be just great leaving here me think! :applause:

One thing, is the aircraft in general, I under stand all are cargo ships being turbo props. Funny thing I have really seen any cargo birds here! Our fearless travel agent passed the word on that the aircraft were parked somewhere around behind all the Terminal Buildings. It just might be the scrape area for all junkie Planes. Checking with the airport official's about walk around and check out these here hidden planes. No problem, quoted the local airport police. So, Old Dudley and I started our journey to find the aircraft with the hope we may find one that could fly and carry a heavy load of cargo. Let me tell you! those planes were scattered all over the bloody place. We found one that we were both satisfied with, an ex- American Air Force plane being a C-130E in, I believe, the texture paint is of the 1970 era. We sure don't care about the looks as long as it is reason shape to fly with a cargo load plus a heavy amount of fuel.:encouragement:

We took the herkie bird for a test flight, and to our surprise the plane flew just great, and all the system work AOK so far without any problems. :adoration:

We are still waiting for our flight plans arrive from where ever I sure hope it's not regular mail, heck we could be here for more time which is not a good idea ! As soon as they arrive and the other pilot's get there plane ready to fly we will be off, (I hope)

:pirate: Hi ya all.


Just added some pictures of the C-130 during our test flights, these were taken by our chase plane, reason, I guess just to make sure we didn't get into trouble. Now, how in the heck would a chase plane be able to helps us in the case of any of the systems quitting! Hehe maybe just to pickup the pieces.:pop4::playful:
