Around the World/ Back in Time continues- episode #55: Escape from Atlantis!

[Lazerbolt]

Hi pilots! Looks like its time for another trip back in time in those majestic Herky-birds!

The waters are rising and Atlantis is being claimed by the ocean sooner than expected! The Atlantians have not had enough time to complete the mother ship they are constructing to make their escape and there is not enough room to accommodate everyone!

Our mission on Thursday is to transport the overflow passengers from Atlantis to a staging area where they will reunite with the rest of the escaping populous.

Thursdays flightplan is as follows:

Honiara Intl /Henderson Field, Honiara (AGGH)
Kirakira, Kirakira (AGGK)
Santo-Pekoa, Luganville (NVSS)



This flight will take place in classic FSX, but feel free to follow along in steam!

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 20,000 ft. Please do Not bring a jetliner to this event because they stick out like a sore thumb and are a distraction.

Not sure what to fly?

Storm was kind enough to document which are the best planes for these "Around the World" cargo flights. This should help you decide.

• 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!
