Operation "Snow cap"
Mission 02
Sir Walrus's PIREP
Guys,
after months, I got a mission :-)))
I'm on the glacier with my balls frozen, but I am here.
Zurich, I know Kloten very very well in real life too,
full thrust..., hdg 147, FL 80 (about 2500m I hope there are not
mountains higher).
Pressed 'd' key, took a look @ the map and, yes with 147 degrees you can
get runway.
Nose a bit down, watched on the left on the right... only gray, a river
and mountains .. but from the fog is breaking the first glacier.. hey a
little light in front of me, I'm too high. reached 6300 feet and yes
this is the runway.
Not bad landing at the first attempt. WOW after months without flying,
this is a big goal. a bit troublesome with the wind but I got it.
Full thrust, take off from half runway, turn on the left, turn on right
and ooh a mountain, short turn on the right and... touch and go, yes the
Michel's plane is a BIIIIG plane, climb rate is not like the speed-bird,
but I love Hey Jude.
I made about 6/7 touch and gos and also I tried to landing without gears
and with the engines cut off. GREAT squishhhh on the wet ice.
Guys do it. you'll get fun.
Pressed L key, now it's night. take off and some other landings and
touch and gos with the dark (almost). Great.
it's time to talk and drink with those poor boys that from the runway
was watching for an hour Hey Jude flying around like a crazy plane.
My health is not perfect but the better medicine is.... fly missions.
Have a good night friends.
The walrus
