resupply runs

Just a heads up, rather than resupply some of the FBOs myself, I've flow a Bunch o' Supplies(tm) into 46CA and have created paid jobs to get the supplies ferried to each of the FBOs thare are in need of said supplies. If you happen to be making a run with pax to one of the FBOs out of 46CA and you have room left over for cargo (remember, supplies don't take any seats!), feel free to load up!

I saw a few ppl make runs from 46CA to CA89 without taking any of the supplies along for the ride, so I thought I'd mention it here in case anyone was curious what those jobs were all about and how to actually take advantage of them.

Ah, I saw those but didn't know if they were for public. I'll do a few runs if any are needed.

Why else would they be made available for the public? ;)

Most of the runs got snagged (ie, people took the jobs), but haven't flown them yet. 2 of the FBOs are going to close today, so I'll create a couple more runs. If they don't get flown by this evening I'll do them myself. It's my fault for letting the FBOs get so close to running out of supplies.

Just flew the remaining supplies out of 46CA to CA89

Which FBO's are in trouble?

Oh neat, I just found out that if you're the owner of the supply runs, you can unlock them (ie, pull them from whoever took them but hasn't flown them). I've done that, so the supply jobs to 40G are available again.

Thanks guys!

I am flying the King Air back from CA89 to grab those jobs...

Trying to practice my CTAF calls...not good but getting better.

Edit...looks like I require more practice managing engines. On descent neglected to handle the torque and bam....engines gone.

:facepalm:

Sry Keith, it was a total loss...supplies all over the desert floor. On another matter, was that King Air insured?

I cancelled the jobs and they are back in the cue, time for me to go and think about what I did. :cry:
