I have a friend who was stationed on one of the islands in Alaska when he was in the Air Force. He happened to be listening in on the
radio when a
C130 called in that is was landing. After a while, the plane made another call. The tower responded that the airport was closed due to
0/0 weather.
The pilot responded back: "I'm already on the ground, I need someone to guide me to my parking place." Nothing was said
to the pilot since he was
bringing fresh supplies and had the weekly mail.
He also reported that they had ropes connecting to each of the buildings. When you walked outside you would use the rope to guide you
to the next
building. The wind and snow would blow so hard, if you let go of the rope, they wouldn't find your body until the Spring.

Wow. Now that would be intense!

not worth IMHO, looks just like the default Cessna 208, VC isnt even that good, sorry, not spending $20 on a plane I already have.

I think it's quite a bit better than the default personally in a lot of ways. Kinda has that "right" feel about it that's so hard to define yet you
know it when you feel it.

I agree. I think its a lot better than the default, and comes with the garmin goodies, has a virtual cabin for both pax and cargo...I just wish it
had more eyecandy and disappearing pilots when the plane is in park
