Flying the Line

[Willy]

I'm beginning to think that DC-2 is a flying BBQ pit. Fortunately I was able to hitch a ride with the railroad....

Nice flight into Zanesville Ohio. Darn that DC-3 behind me looks familiar.....

Interesting weather coming into NE Tennessee today. Darn wind just kept blowing me off of the ILS beam, so I ignored it and played like a moth and just came to the lights...

A couple of shots from last night's flight from Greenville SC to Roanoke AL. At least I know where I'll be eating supper at...

Hello,

Here are a few shots from the last two flight I was in with Flight 19.

 

[Willy]

We flew on down to the "Redneck Riviera" aka the Gulf Coast, landing at Mobile AL. Traded the Curtiss for a Lockheed L10 Electra.

 

[Willy]

We left Mobile and headed on east to Apalachicola FL passing over Escambia Bay enroute...

From the Florida coast to the Georgia coast...

 

[Willy]

Somewheres in Gawga...

 

[Willy]

Decided to do a little "testing" on a work in progress on our flight to Georgetown SC. Gives a project a little sense of direction...

 

[Willy]

We flew on up to KMQI just down the road from KFFA where the Wright Brothers flew in 1903. We weren't too sure if we could get the propliners in and out of there.

A new look for an old favorite. Still have to redo the VC textures and re-arrange some gauges there though.

Great flight from North Carlolina's outer banks to Wash DC, even with heavy turbulence at the start of it. Just after take off, I made a few passes over the site of the Wright Bros first flights. Wasn't paying attention to what was in front of me and almost hit a radio tower on the climb out. I still don't know how I managed to miss it....

 

[Willy]

My camera ran out of film after 3 shots, but they were the ones just after take off heading out over Wash DC.

Lost the ones over NYC

Hi there!Here are some photos of Flight 19 (two pilots). It seems we had one pilot out chasing some maverick, cattle I assume, per all the cowboy movies I have seen. All in all it was a good flight from GRU to KMVY, the next flight will be from KMVY to KRKD. Pretty soon we should be turning west and returning to Burbank, Cal. via southern Canada, and these should be some fun flights. Well aware that we will more than likely be butting head with some nasty headwinds. So, you all stay tuned to Flight 19. hehe

Sorry about not having any screenshots the past few nights. Seems my old screenshot program and Win 8.1 don't want to play nice together. On the hunt for a new one.

On another front, I got to missing the "Whale" and as we are in New England whaling territory, I figured it was time to go back to it as seen in Taco's pics above.

Santa Fe, All The Way!

Got a couple of shots while waiting around at Martha's Vinyard before takeoff. Starting to look like a Whale convention....

Hi there!Well, it has been awhile since posting some pictures of the infamous Flight 19. Just before leaving KMVY me number one engine went a spell of not feeling to good, long story short, she blew a jug! It took a few days to get the parts in and replace the jug and test run the big R-2800, but, our luck changed and she ran perfect! Dudley and I got off asap in order to catch up with the flight we landed at KRKD just in time to take off for KPQI. Now, this place is way up in Maine boonies. At least we made it no problems with the plane. Now we are off for Canada inorder to start our junket across the Canada going west to the Pacific Ocean.

 

[Willy]

I guess I did take a pic last night....
