Around the World/ Back in Time continues: 1896 Rotodynes in Switzerland

[Lazerbolt]

Hey guys! looks like its time for another Around the World Special assignment!

Eduard Hoffmann-Krayer, who founded the Swiss Society for Volkskunde (the study of folklore) in 1896 has requested the use of our singularity drive on Thursday night. Eduard has for years scoffed at the lack of authenticity in traditional Swiss folk parades and needs our help in organizing his hometown parade in Basel Switzerland.
Thursday night we will gather characters from Swiss folklore and deliver them to Eduard Hoffmann-Krayer for use in the Basel Volkskunde parade.

This flight is for Fairey Rotodynes ONLY.

Please be sure to read all of the supplied documents regarding installation and operation of the Rotodyne.


Thursday's cargo delivery route takes us through some of the most beautiful areas of the Swiss Alps. Our first two stops are really stunning locations.

Our flight plan is as follows:

How appropriate. Frau Holda has already shaken her pillows in preparation. She must have known! :snowman:

This is going to be one interesting flight.
Never flew a Rotodyne before
Never knew of their existence until now
You learn something new everyday....

Just a reminder for tonight's flight: Bring your Rotodyne to LSZS at 9pm eastern for a beautiful trip through the Swiss Alps.

Wait, do we have to hover those rotodynes onto the runway, and land like a helicopter, or can we just land like a normal plane

[Lazerbolt]

With the Rotodyne you can do both!

With the Rotodyne you can do both!

Then I probably may be landing the regular way!
