Diario de la Primera Misión GTFO (Jueves, 10-Dec-2020)
===============================================
Fuí al acogedor aeropuerto y embarcadero Audrey, donde había que recoger la mercancía, pues allí hay un HUB GTFO.
Tenía previsto cargar con un helicoptero amplio para llevar buena mercancía y ganar pasta y dinerito, que siempre viene bien.
Otra piloto canadiense estaba haciendo lo mismo, así que acordamos hacer la misma misión y ruta.
La manager del aeropuerto, nos llevó al lugar donde se recogían las cajas y se aceptaba el encargo.
La Misión tenía caracter humanitario pues había que llevar productos importantes ( viveres y medicamentos ) a una zona de buceo en medio del mar, a bastante distancia.
La Ruta, pues, comenzaba en este pequeño aeropuerto al sur del continente Corsica, luego había que pasar por el corredor de Islas que enlaza Corsica con el continente Nautilus, y una vez, allí al Sim Dire Straits (flechas en ROJO).
Llegamos sin apenas incidencias al lugar y nos pagaron lo acordado. ¡Qué bien!.
Desde allí solo quedaba regresar al aeropuerto Base, en Isla Lagartija, una de las Islas Balboa (flechas en VERDE).
Bueno, he de decir que la aventura no terminó ahí, pues invité a la piloto canadiense a que tomara un descanso y refresco en la Base... ... ....
GTFO First Mission Diary (Thursday, 10-Dec-2020)
==============================================
I went to the cozy Audrey airport and pier, where the merchandise had to be collected, as there is a GTFO HUB there.
I had planned to carry a large helicopter to carry good merchandise and earn money and money, which is always good.
Another Canadian pilot was doing the same, so we agreed to do the same mission and route.
The airport manager took us to the place where the boxes were collected and the order was accepted.
The Mission had a humanitarian character as important products (food and medicine) had to be taken to a diving area in the middle of the sea, quite a distance away.
The Route, therefore, began in this small airport to the south of the Corsica continent, then it was necessary to go through the corridor of Islands that connects Corsica with the Nautilus continent, and once, there to the Sim Dire Straits (arrows in RED).
We arrived with hardly any incidents at the place and they paid us what was agreed. How good!.
From there it only remained to return to the Base airport, on Isla Lagartija, one of the Balboa Islands (arrows in GREEN).
Well, I have to say that the adventure did not end there, because I invited the Canadian pilot to take a rest and refreshment at the Base ... ... ....

I decided to finally take advantage of the Canon Pixma Pro-100 rebates that seem to happen often. I mean, who can pass up a printer that ends up being $50? This is the first picture that I printed on the included 8.5"x11" Luster paper.

Seems appropriate that my first photo should be of the Soyuz spacecraft that delivered us safely to the International Space Station.

First South Yorkshire (Olive Grove depot) SN18XYT 35320 seen departing Sheffield Bus Station on service 56 to Wybourn
I found my first LadyBug of 2011 today. Here she is, basking in the sun on a frostbitten Viburnum leaf on a rare sunny February 21 afternoon in Oregon.
This is a shot of the Blue Angels I getting some pre-flight checks at sunrise at Ellington Field a few years back. A blast from the past and a bit of a switch from the natural birds to the man made birds. I will not be on Flickr until around Sunday as I will be away at an air show. This is a sunrise scene that I took a number of years ago and figured that I would share it again. The Pioneer Flight Museum is some distance away and we will most definitely not make it there in time for any sunrise scenes, but am hopeful that we have some decent weather so that they can fly some of the WW I and WW II vintage planes. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend and will try to get back to your photos on Sunday.
