Flight 19

[Taco]

Hello, and a good afternoon or morning for whether you are!


Hey! we landed in Chile and as the saying goes three up and three down, no scratches or dents to the planes. hehe. Now, fuel might be a problem, but I understood a fuel truck should show up!


My fuel problems start right after we left, we will let it go at that. We were flying in the area where a heavy German influence was present. Most were from Germany and I believe most were of the Nazi upper power brokers. Had a weird experience at Baruloche with the local fueling crews, I guess when they saw the stars on the C-119 some old memories' popped up with the stories of the WWII from the older folks and it seems old incidents of old are still in coded into the life of the old folks who still holed grudges against the Allies. But, as far as I am concerned that's a dead issue.


Hehe, anyway I got my fuel and the fueling folks became more agreeable, mainly our Old Dudley, who spoke German who must have been telling good old Yankee jokes. Humor does help in certain situations. Enough of this baloney and get back to friendly flying.


This is just a fictitious story from some ding-dong.



Hope you all noticed that we were able to take a couple of pictures, I ain't going to ask me buddy Dudley where he got the camera and the hard to fined the film.

Hello all!


Hey, we left Chile and back into Argentina, SOCH to SAWC. This was a very nice flight, hehe we were flying a little low and this here mountain decided show some growing I know sure as heck that mountain was higher than mention. hehe. Let me put it this way, if that bloody mountain would had small and large trees on top we would have made a lot of firewood. But all in all we made it and the rest of Flight 19 me think they went around the thing. This was a short flight, but we did see some fine scenery, lots of lakes and some steep cliffs that seem to be all over the place. Again Three up and Three down with no damage to the planes!


The next flight will be from SAWC to SAWG hope to see you there.

Well again, hello,

Moses finally got the B-17 repaired and caught with us SAWG and flew with the group SAWJ and had no problems with the big bird (B-170) on the flight. We did have one thing, a ship/boat was caught on Rob radar and he flew down to take a look and it turned out to be a fishing trolled. Good, the bloody was friendly. Kind of upset Dudley he was sure hopping that it was a bad boat he wanted to check out the twin 50s he smuggled aboard. That's all we would have needed Dudley starting a war. hehe. It was sure nice having four up and four down for a change.


Here to the local ground control folks, why in the heck do you all keep having us park in weeds. Oh, you want Yankee go home. lol.


The next flight will that place on Monday from SAWJ to SA25, just might need to make sure we have enough fuel to make SA25 and beyond. Like most of these small airport they don't not have fuel.


Cu later, we hope!

Hello, World, Our sim world any way!

Over Sunday got a lot of rest and some TLC on the boxcar just getting ready for todays flight. Hope to see all you there. hehe, me a Pirate could be

 

[Taco]

Hello, from the old Pirate, and I mean old!


Anyway folks, Flight 19 took off from SAWJ and winged our way to SA25 where ever it is, but we did find out from a report by Rob on the city/town at SA25. The airport is a fair way from the city, so it might look like we will be sleeping on the planes, or if it get to hot under the wing. It also noted that the main industries here are petroleum and sheep. Gee! even if we did get a chance to go to town and find an restaurant to eat at, I bet all they serve would be mutton. Yuk! hehe I do know this just might cause some rebuttal from some of our friends. The flight was a very nice one and one comment was that this was like flying over Kansas in the good old USA. Hehe, my comment is " I think we made a wrong turn at Albuquerque! OK, OK, hehe, just a joke from an New Mexican, also for another grip I sure miss the green chili tacos and burritos.


Sweet dreams, next flight will be from SA25 to SA34, Off we go into the wild blue yonder, and Dudley and I with a potential problem with the fuel consumption of these big 4360's engine! checking our changes just in case we need to land some place other than the target airport, to call for a taxi. hehe

Hi there, a big Oops yesterday! and it called for some refreshments!

No flying! It seems that the local government had some questions about some of our cargo, Evidently, our old buddy Achmad from the near east contacted the locals and spread some false information concerning Flight 19, we should, if things get cleared up, I have not doubt they will be, be back in the air today.

 

[Taco]

Well here I is again, Howdy all!

We got to fly yesterday the locals let do it, the last words I heard from the Chief Officer, " OK, four officer will stay with this group until take off time tomorrow, we will just let the next people at their stop take over." To me it sounded like we will be striped down again, I sure hope this doesn't happen on the all of our next stops. Sure looks like we will have company all night with these four guards guarding us all night, but they are mainly here to make sure we don't add any cobrand on our planes. Dudley and I stayed with our plane all night just to drive these folks crazy. hehe. We did get a good nights sleep. Here in the morning the bloody whole bunch showed up, and I was sure they were going to search the planes again, but the head rabbit just came over to give us some new papers for the flight. I see that some problems maybe showing up at the next stop!


The flight was good, but we were showing an headwind of 28 kts, and the airport reported that there was a cross wind of about 20 to 30 kts, hehe this just made our day! Dudley and I landed with less than 15% of fuel left. Some farmers may wake up in the morning and getting ready to plow the north 40 and find out he has no fuel in his favorite tractor. Oops! Well it didn't happened there was a service station across the way and he had a big type of fueling truck. Boy, did he get to Dudley and I the charges were higher than heck! And talk about a Pirate, hehe but you need it when you need it I guess. Enough of this poop. Cu all at the next stop.

 

[Taco]

Hello,

Blew it on the last flight! A problem popped up on the C-119 and needed to return to SA34 in order to hopefully find the needed parts for repairs. If the creek doesn't raise we should be back in the air a little later. (actually, the darn computer quit and I was unable to get FSX restarted.)

 

[Taco]

Hello all!

Got the problems solved on the C-119, and made a respectful flight last night! There for awhile Dudley and I were on pins and needles waiting for something to happen. The old Gal did her job perfectly which was just great. Again, it seems that the lodestar, or at least one, has been having a high a high fuel burn, Srg. arrived with just 12% of fuel remaining.

The airport where we were to land is dirt, and long, only problem was we raised a lot of dust, and needed to space our plane apart in order for the dust to settle down for the next landing. We all made it with no problems, and a surprise was there were no local police to greet us, hehe, sure felt disappointed no was here to greet us.

Just a couple more stop for the pickup that are scheduled, and then we can calls this adventure over! Goanna! catch a big 747 with a first class ticket
and go back the USA.

Things got a little low keyed with our buddy Achmed, we tried with some succeed, to use some of the old smuggler trick that have been developed in the past by our old buddy from a few years ago. Our old buddy got so perplex that he backed off hehe. Now Old Achmed has been trying to screw up Flight 19 for year, and believe me he will try again. So folks stay tuned for the next junket.

Hey there, and a Good Afternoon to you all

After this afternoon on our R/R here at SA13, we will be flying to SABE for the last and final landing. Then all the customer who order our cargo should be happier than heck, I sure know that Dudley and I are. The over all flight to SA13 from SAZE was kind of uneventful hehe, but we muddle our way thru it. Srg and Kt had bad weather low clouds or fig, and as they made their turn to final the mess open up and all landed safely. The funny thing was that Dudley and I had mostly clear weather through the whole flight, but we were flying somewhat higher than the rest of the flight.


Dudley and I or he noticed a store or a saloon at the end of runway #5. Hehe, so we fired up the flying boxcar and taxi down to the fun spot (note picture) and by golly there will no sleeping in the plane, sweet a Bed and Breakfast gosh, tonight sweet dreams.

Hi all!

Hey, today is the day we finish out tour thru Argentina! The whole adventure has been a true enlighten experience, as with any normal flight thru a country things aren't always a cherry, but darn it, hehe it sure was fun. So all we sure hope you join us for the next one. Remember, if you are stuck in the house because of this terrible virus, hint, come fly with us. See you all later.
