Radiation leakage from our cargo - fragments of the power plant from the Kosmos satellite that crashed near Yellowknife - may be starting to affect the Duplicity drive. (And us too - though that may just be the miles of frozen wilderness taking its toll.)
This week we move on to Calgary, host of the 1988 Winter Olympics. But, wait - it's still 1978... It seems someone needs a little encouragement to put the bid forward to the International Olympic Committee. We'd better lend a hand or the Calgary Winter Olympics may never happen, and history will rewrite itself around us.
Meanwhile we'll have to negotiate our way into and out of Jasper-Hinton airport, which is tricky at the best of times...
Cruise: 225 kts indicated at 8,000 ft asl (i.e. lower and slower than Lazer's flights).
Route: Week 2: CYXJ>CYQU>CEC4>CYYC
(Fort St. John > Grande Prairie > Jasper-Hinton > Calgary)
Flight plan (PLN file): https://tinyurl.com/storms-flight-plans
Aircraft: Cargo props and propliners. NO JETS.
Examples: C-130 and anything normally flown on Lazer's regular Thursday flights (cargo) just flown slower, North American Rockwell Cargo Bronco or the Nord Noratlas (cargo), Lockheed Constellation (passenger), AVRO Shackleton (patrol), Kingair (default)... there are lots of possibilities. Just make sure ahead of time it's a prop and that you can fly the cruise requirements. Note: ILS equipped is recommended.
Recommended: Be sure to download and install the Cargo Bronco, so you can at least see it, even if you don't fly it yourself.

Singularity: the quality of being singular, a distinction from others, a peculiarity, when AI surpasses human intelligence (computers), a region in spacetime such as a black hole in which tidal gravitational forces become infinite (astrophysics)...
Duplicity: the quality of being twofold or double, deliberate deceptiveness in speech or behavior, double dealing, misleading and fraudulent representation, fake news...
