    Robert's general tour of the SW Pacific

    Orders from the Colonel: Pilot, copilot and navigator will transport several high ranking officers to several bases throughout the SW Pacific. The rest of your crew will remain here. Stay out of trouble. No horsing around.
    Find your C47 at Malita, pick up Generals party at Davao.
    RP0G to RPMD.

    Down at Davao, for the start of this tour. The Duenna shows this as a LR C47, but Iam only using one of the paints. Default DC3.

    Nice looking Gooney!

    Happy Trails ... I would have flown a C-47 myself, but I'm gettin my belly full on a round the world journey: http://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/showth...acific-Islands





    Good luck!

    Safe and sound at Biak. Nice clear day, but the wind could not make up its mind which way to go.
