Flight #6

Drat! I'm all set to go after a nice vacation here by the Lockhart River. And there's a job going my way... but it's 555kg. Too much for my Skyhawk. So, it'll just be me, myself and I as I head out to Scherger.

Well, happy day. At this stop, I find 2 Laborers and a Priority Courier package heading to my next destination, Pormpuraaw (say that 3 times fast!). The winds have really picked up, so this should be an interesting leg (between passengers, cargo and fuel, I'm within 10kg of my maximum weight). It'll be a slow climb all the way up to 4,000 ASL!

On approach to YPMP
There's no one heading to Normanton, so I'm back to flying solo for this leg.

As I approach YNTN, I start to see some hints of the red that I know will become more common as I head further east.

Starting to see red
A quick lunch from the vending machines (not my favorite, but I'm pressed for time), and then I load up 2 Aviation Mechanics and a Charter passenger, and we head off to Mornington Island.

Heading for YMTI -- I hope my GPS knows where it's going!
Time for some scuba diving!

Total Profit: v$17,335.60
