JF Piper Turbo Arrow IV

[Captain Coffee 2,030]

It's not quite A2A, but very close. Really enjoying this one.

I purchased the Turbo Arrow III/Turbo Arrow IV combination package, and both are excellent models...and terrific for Airhauler.

 

I'm in the Hawaiian Islands...my Biggie Company has one base out there used as a company Vacation base and Hawaiian Business Deduction on the Island of Molokai at PHMK...it's a Very Nicely appointed Hangar with delux condominium style accommodations above the hangar floor. Molokai is also a place to consolidate aircraft parts that I find out here, before shipping them via Ai to the states to my aircraft factory.

 

Today I am shuttling a Cessna C337 Skymaster engine from PHKO on the Big Island over to Molokai in my new Turbo Arrow IV.

It fits snuggly in the back seat in it's crate, and I have room for an AdHoc passenger as well up front.

Definitely Not First Class for the passenger, but I am providing a free carafe of coffee and macadamia nut cookies during the flight...and the fare is cheep...so all is good.

 

Climbing smartly at a good clip. Only cruising at 4,000 feet today, don't feel like going above the clouds for such a quick trip, and I want to stay in VFR.

 

The turbo makes short work of a crossing at a high cruise setting of 145kts, I'm crabbing against a crosswind on this crossing.

 

Passing Maui.

 

 

Turning to the  Kaunakakai, Molokai Base.

 

Final.

 

Dropping off my passenger at the 'Terminal'. I'll leave the Arrow here for now, and grab our shuttle van to haul the part to my hangar. I think I'll be taking her out again for a spin soon, no point in moving her to the garage just yet.

 

Thanks for flying along.

Cpt. Coff.

Great set of shots and flight Matt, I still think it's not fair having a base in such a beautiful place.

nice one Matt, great shots, still undecided with this one, not if I want it but for which sim do I want it....
