Mitsubishi MU-2 Marquise (Mitsubishi build planes.. !?)













I am in love!
Looks good (the form I like) ..flys good!

just the Virtual Cockpit could be a bit better...

Merry Christmas!

OMG.....
As HB knows I set forward to scout ahead to Meigs.....
Meigs is snowed in right now with mod snow falling....... Im just 50Nm from final now so in for a heap of fun WT-style

Was just checking for the Mitsubishi MU-2 on youtube and found an interesting video.

Watch the nice take off airport! (and watch the landing ...where was that 280meter airstrip again? I guess thats the aircraft for it! )

hmm..he could start the engines...what did I do wrong?

in the comment:

'Burnsville, NC, about 25 miles north of Asheville. The identifier is 2NC0. '
'It's a private airport in western NC built into the side of Slickrock Mountain. The runway is 2785 feet long, elevation 4600. '

sounds to be a nice WT airport ... ..wherever this is..

Edit found:
Mountain Air ..check the photo... and it's close to Memphis (400nm)

I guess at least I fly there as next!

seems like a nice airport. Perhaps we need to do another deviation? Off course the question is how the airport looks in fs9/fsx

[Joeflyer]

This leg was definitely one I didn't want to miss, but I'm in KATL this week celebrating Christmas with family of course I didn't get to
leave until early Tuesday afternoon but got to fly part of the leg Tuesday a.m. The left engine decided to quit on me at FL250(using
Aeroworx King Air). Never saw any changes in engine temps or oil pressure,etc. Must've been so slight that it couldn't be detected with
this airplane Landed at some small airport in the middle of nowhere land.

@Tracky...I did one of those hops to Meigs on Monday night...didn't make it in due to heavy snow and 1/4 mi. vis with heavy winds. I gave
up

@HB...I've got to grab that Mu-2...looks good! I know Mountain Air Cargo very well...I fly with those guys fairly often

I won't be around for Sat's flight either. Not coming home till Sunday. Merry Christmas!

[Tracker801]

I made it in to Meigs with Connie despite 1/2 mile vis and heavy snow
Just checked weather there now and its raining so not much fun now. Why do you think I planned on doing the Northern US around this time of year

[Tracker801]

Hmmm
Just flying into Meigs again with the A400M....
Huge thunderstorm here now, 66kts xwind..... actually very fun

[Joeflyer]

It would have been nice if I had 1/2 mi vis when I tried the landing Instead of 1/4 mi vis, I really think it was 1/8 mi with less than 100
ft. vertical. Of course the ol 135 regs kick in and I immediately go into the holding pattern and thinking about going to the alternate aiport.

I can hear you now, Tracky..."Don't be a girl and fly the freak'n airplane"

[Tracker801]

I rest my case

[Joeflyer]

It was the Christmas spirit coming out of me. Otherwise, I would have told ya to just go pound sand
