-----------ALIEN INVASION!-----------
The area surrounding Joao Pessoa Brazil has been the site of thousands of Extra-terrestrial sightings and abductions dating as far back as 1947. HQ is sending us into the hot zone to fight this disturbing breach of intergalactic treaty made long ago with the offending aliens.
Between 1947 and 2013 the Alien offenders have been waging a massive coordinated abduction operation dubbed "Terrestrial Inhabitant Nabbing". Our top scientists have been working for decades to put an end to this wave of T.I.N. by seeking a method to disrupt the alien abduction beams.
HQ has made a major breakthrough with the development of headgear designed to foil the aliens T.I.N. technology.
Our mission Thursday night will be to deliver these T.I.N. foil hats to the inhabitants of northeast Brazil and end this reign of alien terror.
-------------------------------------------
We will be flying relatively low and fast for this Hercules flight. Our altitude will not exceed 3000 ft to avoid the alien dampening field. Please bring an appropriate cargo-prop.
Acceptable aircraft for this group flight:
Hercules (preferred if you have it)
Antinov AN32 (good free choice see below)
Antinov AN12 (Also a good free choice, even more Herky-like. see below)
Howard 500 (Free, Awesome, fun, nuff said, see below)
Default Leer jet (the only default AC that fits the bill. The only allowed jet, but is easy to fly and a decent choice.)
Thursdays flightplan is as follows:
SBSV Departure
SBAR
SBMO

Storm was kind enough to document which are the best planes from his OneDrive for these "Around the World" cargo flights. This should help you decide.
Here's a link to Storms Onedrive:http://tinyurl.com/storms-onedrive
There are 4 suitable airplanes. The An-32 is in Modern oddities. The others are in the Vintage Hangar:
- An-12 Most similar to C-130. Most extras (airbrake, autothrottle, paradrop). Russian annotations. Most difficult to fly.
- An-32 Most frame-rate friendly. Best cockpit model. Easy to fly except long spool time. Needs refueling on long flights.
- Howard 500 Easy for piston engine pilots. Best climber. Tail-dragger. Performance tails off at altitude. Poorest frame rates.
- C-119 Boxcar Easiest to fly.
- Re-engined (French) variant: Faster. Normal climb rates.
- Normal engine variants: Slower. Half the climb rate so gets left behind on short-medium length flights.

Hope to see everyone there!
