Hi pilots! Looks like its time for another adventure back in Time!
Tonight's mission:
Thursday night we will set the Singularity Drive to the year 1972 in order to collect vintage aircraft, Japanese naval memorabilia and other historic artifacts to be put on display at the newly opened Kanoya Naval Air Base Museum.
HQ has also indicated that they have a secret special assignment waiting for us when we get to Iwakuni MCAS.
Thursdays flightplan is as follows:
Seoul/ Domestic South Korea Departure (RKSM)
Ulsan South Korea (RKPU)
Iwakuni MCAS Japan (RJOI)
Kanoya Naval Air Base museum Japan (RJFY)

The preferred aircraft is the C-130 Hercules. 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 18,000 ft.
No Jets.

Not sure what to fly?
For those who don't have or don't want to fly the C-130, Storm was kind enough to document which are the best planes for these "Around the World" cargo flights. This should help you decide.
- C-97 Stratofreighter Popular, quality freeware that comes with an installer (v2) available here, or without an installer (v3) but with extra models and separate optional extra mods and liveries here (look in the Cargo props section).
- An-12 Most similar to C-130. Most extras (airbrake, autothrottle, paradrop). Russian annotations. Most difficult to fly. Download it here (look in the Cargo props section).
- An-32 Most frame-rate friendly. Best cockpit model. Easy to fly except long spool time. Needs refueling on long flights. Download with an installer here.
- Howard 500 Easy for piston engine pilots. Best climber. Tail-dragger. Performance tails off at altitude. Poorest frame rates. Download it here (look in the Cargo props section).
- C-119 Boxcar Easiest to fly. Download it here (look in the Cargo props section).
- 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.
