hurricanemk1c 195 Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 Welcome all to my ATWC II Leg! As I sit in my cockpit (or cab in Rail Simulator), I wonder, ' What will Mutley give us to do next?' That question can, and will, only be answered by the dog himself Anyway, Ascension Island. What a volcanic place it is! But who cares, when it's a divert point for the Space Shuttle in the unlikely event of an emergancy It has a 10019ft runway, and no ILS. But in the Falklands War, it was turned from a sleepy island to the point where the whole RAF tanker fleet were based here in 1982! Anyway, on to the leg! The Vulcan doesn't have the range with all this arms on board, so Simi's helping out with a VC-10! Standing on the ramp Cockpit A Brazillian caught this! Starting From the office Turning .... STOP!!! More pushback required as so not to destroy Red's Baron! I'm past the little plane! Cheers Red! Taxing Aprroching the end of the runway TURN!!! Made it! All set? GO!!! Gear up Fast climb out Turning to the course Some of the cruise - low - high - Refuelling - High - Land! Shrike! Wow! The sea! Going down for fuel! Visual Joining - my AAR Dave is handlling Well, I wasn't that good Bye bye tanker! All alone now Ascension!!!!!! Gear down Some traffic!!!!!!!!! Nearly Touchdown! Braking Chute dropped! Backtraking Turning onto the ramp All shut down Well, that's that, over to you Edward!!!! PS - Thanks Mut for reminding me!! Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,495 Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 Superb Kieran, I am so pleased you chose the Vulcan as that is one of the reasons I chose Ascencion. I really enjoyed the flight although I felt a little queezy when you dropped out of the sky to meet up with the tanker Thanks for getting us safely to Wideawake.

needles 1,013 Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 Excellent Hurricanemk1c. I love the bird and might just add it to my hangar. Why no shot of your hook-up for fuel?? No worries a great post anyway. Link to post Share on other sites
hurricanemk1c 195 Posted June 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 Why no shot of your hook-up for fuel?? No worries a great post anyway. Because I'm a rubbish shot and it was due to an errorr in FS that I got fuel! Link to post Share on other sites

I own RAF Tornado and C-130 Hercules by Just Flight and in those packages is a tanker that you can call and it passes you fuel I'm sure i have the RAF Tornado somewhere, if not installed....as for the C-130, which is it? I've got the CS 'Legendary' C-130, does that work?..or is it any tanker, if so i've got loads (Victor K2, Vulcan K2, VC-10, Tristar tanker, KC-135...) Link to post Share on other sites
