Upcoming Race Event

To All Pilots:

On behalf of Merc Air, I would like to announce an upcoming event that is being hammered out with details to be posted soon. I'm sure a lot of you are ready to get back in the saddle after resting up from this year's RTWR.

We can’t disclose any information at the moment but I will say if you are a fan of “heavy iron” and engines that tend to leak a lot of oil, you will not be disappointed.

Please stay tuned for further development.

Hey All,

Sounds interesting! :ernae: I'll be watching for details.

Since a lot of these events require duenna and often it is good to post pictures of your flights I'm hoping I'll be able to upload images. I can't right now.

-Ed-
 
Let's see... Boeing 307 Stratoliner, Douglas DC-4 or the Avro Lancastrian. Decisions... decisions... decisions.

O' course that's just my short list. Others might vary. :d
 
The rumor mill has indeed been “humming” with activity over the past few weeks. It would seem that “big iron” will be a basic requirement for this mission, but I have that covered, more or less, as can be seen in this image from a secret location, code name “banjo.” All I need now is a whole lot of red and white paint to make this 121 look like a TWA Connie, and the nearest paint store is, well, lets just say it’s far away.
 
Hey All,

Testing (= seeing if I still know how to fly!) at an equally undisclosed location! :bump:

We'll see what the rules look like before deciding.

Now lets see if a picture upload works.

-Ed-

PS It did! It did! Finally!
 
Well, I for one am man enough to disclose my location...:173go1:

I'm currently at Flightsim.com Multi-Player Adventures World Headquarters at Holkham Bay, Alaska, looking over our fleet of propliners. Now let's see..

I could take a DC-7.

Or I could take a DC-7B.

Or I could take a DC-7C.

Dang, this one's a tough decision... :kilroy:
 
I sure would tell you where we are, but I don't know, and nobody tells me nuttin! And now, the big question----What bird to fly?

Taco: Pilot
Dudley P. Fudpucker: Co-Pilot
No name: Engineer
Cabin Crew: Ladies from the Miss America Contest.

Yippee! it's going to be a great and fun flight!:jump:
 
Nice Lancastrian there FB.

Something to consider: Speed is important but you will also have to keep an eye on your fuel usage. This will not be a throttles to the firewall event (unless you want to burn up your fuel budget quickly). A mix of fuel management, flight planning and luck of the weather.

Also, the cutoff date for production aircraft is 1951 or so. If this stands the DC-7 will not be eligible. The DC-6 variants will be available though.

I better not say anything more until the rules are released. Soon!:engel016:
 
This is sounding better all the time........

One of my favorite parts of these events is "shopping" for aircraft, paint jobs, sound files, and whatever else the rules will allow.

Gettin' excited :jump:
