mutley 4,487 Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 Carrying on for the desperate request to save Joe from the briny in leg 19, the Herk has reported a positive contact. Mike Hotel we've found the Ozzie! He's floating with a flashing baton in his hand, he assures us it IS the is the Mutley's Hangar baton! He is located 2Nm 270° Roger India Juliet, we're on our way now, you can get back to base. Closing in on the location, not far to go. The winch man is keeping a good eye out. I see something flashing in the water over there, about 200 metres west! Yep, I can see him, send down "Big Dave" :mrhappy: Big Dave descends to the icy water, it's not as warm as you think! The downdraft is sending Big Dave down quicker than he wanted to be. Dave gets the noose around Joe and more importantly the baton! Up Joe goes to the Jayhawk, and we soon depart for land. Nearly back to our destination, Wellington Intl airport. Taxiing in. Joe is carried by stretcher to the nearest pub. Another disaster averted! Ok! I'm on the blower to Martyn to advise Leg 20 IS STILL ON!! Cheers Link to post Share on other sites

mutley 4,487 Posted April 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 Thanks Sam, they're not bad at such short notice. Mrs Mutley wasn't so happy though, she thought I was going to spend the evening with her :mrhappy: Cheers Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 You guys are GOOD! That was a great, imaginative sequence. Well done. John Link to post Share on other sites
JoeEllwood 0 Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 Great photo's Mut - thanks for the ride! Those silhouette shots are perhaps the best unedited shots for FS9 I've ever seen - I'm off to reinstall the Jayhawk! I'm taking it easy in Wellington trying to fight off a few battle scars - nothing a few cans of XXXX and some shut eye can't fix :mrhappy: Link to post Share on other sites

mulletman 0 Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 Sorry im so late in responding to the current baton status, really need to check this forum section a little more often (like, every 5 mins!) Fantastic deviation form the main course. Really enjoyed following this! Link to post Share on other sites
