This week's Herky-bird flight will be led by Storm to give our Fantasy Football commissioner (Lazerbolt) a well-deserved break. :eagerness:
BRIEFING FROM HQ
We'll be starting from Sundsval-Harnosand (ESNN) in Sweden, trying to clean up after a massive plundering of the trees. HQ have told us we'll find these trees strewn all over the streets, and have asked us to load them into our holds before take-off. Then we engage the Singularity Drive and take our cargo back to the fifth century CE, to some burial mounds of ancient heathen kings.
Onward, we're to fly south and then east over the Baltic, ending our journey in Latvia. HQ are not telling us further details yet - perhaps they don't want us to worry - but they did mention something about Goths. Or was it Gothic opera? Anyway, they'll tell us once we're in the air. Maybe.
Dramatic stuff. :hororr:
SCENERY
The file ESCM-arna-ab-uppsala.zip adds an ILS and a PAPI to our first airport (missing in default FSX), as well as a full taxiways and other airport scenery. We may get poor weather en route, so an ILS could be useful. Details:
AIRCRAFT
The preferred aircraft is the C-130 Hercules (you did pick up yours on offer from Captain Sim, didn't you?). Alternatives include the C-97 Stratofreighter, the Antonov An-12 and An-32, the Howard 500 and the Boxcar - or any cargo prop that can do 250 kts at 20,000 ft.
This week, flight lead will be in a Boeing C-97 Stratofreighter. This is a high quality free download.
* Version 2 includes an installer for boxed/steam/P3D and has four models/liveries. Download it here.
* Version 3 is a self-install but has two extra models/liveries. Download it here.
* You can read more about the C-97 here.
* Storm has created some extra gauges for the C-97 that he finds useful. Download them here, ensuring you have the latest version (v1.2).
CARGO PROPS ONLY. NO JETS!

SERVER
