...the last set ended on a nailbiting cliffhanger... would I get any answers... and the answer to that was..... NO!

This IS just another stream of gibberish no one in their right mind would read... with a few pictures of a different plane.

On radioing to Mr Counter that I'd found his ship I brought the microlight into land. While I was tying it down and...er...oiling it Counter waltzed over and said: Look what I've got for you, Krigl - just bought this lovely Default King Air!




'Really?' I said, swaying in shock. 'It's mine?'

'No, of course not... It's for my company'...said Ben... 'but you can fly it back for me to the freezing featureless hellhole that is the US's eastern seaboard in wintertime FSX'.

And soon Anguilla was receding behind us in our new mini-airliner 




'So, what happened to the company Duke air-taxi?' I asked. 'My boss won't be too pleased...'

'Oh, that plane? It's going back in the hold of that ship you spotted. You can't fly two planes at once, can you? Everything's agreed, don't worry' added Counter with a sly wink.




'You rogue!' I cried, slamming him against the wall. 'You rotter! You dastardly radish! I know your game... all this nudge nudge wink wink talk of white gold and snow... the whole plane is crammed to bursting with Columbian cocaine which you picked up in Haiti and have been guzzling by the hatful with your PA ever since you left!'
Wait, did I really do that? No - no wall on a plane. I must have hissed it venomously between my teeth as I tuned the radios.




'Whatever are you talking about' bellowed Counter. 'If you hadn't done such a good job of ferrying us around and we weren't at 30 000ft I'd fire you on the spot! Now be a good boy and take us to Miami via the Turks and Caicos... I've got some unfinished business to take care of.'




I sighed...'Alright Mr Counter, you're the boss....' Curiosity getting the better of me I said with an inquisitively raised eyebrow: 'I didn't know you had any dealings in Florida....?'

'Oh' said Counter, 'a friend of mine runs a talcum powder factory there.'

Da-dum. Lol. Ha ha...etc. The end.

There was a time (2005-2006) when I was highly occupied with these lame stories at Simviation...they were fun to make and gave a reason for simming. The screenshots have all long been deleted from this site but both they and the stories live on here: http://flightsimscreens2.wz.cz/index.htm
Caution: Finely honed lameness abounds... but the screenies are nice 

Great shots. Great story.
