  • Around the World/ Back in Time continues: 1939 Earthquake relief- Thats why we're going to Kathmandu




    Thursday night we will set the singularity drive to 1939 so we can head to Nepal and the mountain town of Kathmandu to help in the earthquake relief effort.

    Thursdays flightplan is as follows:

    Amritsar, Amritsar departure (VIAR)
    Indira Gandhi Intl, Delhi (VIDP)
    Lucknow, Lucknow (VILK)
    Tribhuvan Intl, Kathmandu (VNKT)





    As always with these Around the World flights the preferred aircraft is the timeless Captain sim C130 Hercules, but feel free to use any cargo prop that can maintain 260 KIAS at around 24,000 ft. Please do Not bring a jetliner to this event because they stick out like a sore thumb and are a distraction. Many suitable free planes are available from Storms skydrive including the excellent Antinov AN-12 and Howard.

    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.
