As indicated in a prior post, I really would like to set up a base in Pueblo, Colorado. It has a lot of the makings for a good aerospace industry. Perhaps a factory for aircraft parts, avionics and aircraft engines?
Plus it will provide me with another market to sell stuff in.
It is getting late in the day, and likely will be dark when I get to Pueblo. I certainly do not want to try a night landing on a grass runway! I want lights and even an ILS. Pueblo has both. Although the VS does not seem to work on my Carenado Bonanza!
I don't see many cargo loads to Pueblo, so I am going to try some arbitrage. DVD players sell for $101 per pound in Alamosa, but $121 per pound in Pueblo. That means I can turn a $20 gross profit on every pound of DVD players I can sell in Pueblo. My plane can hold 908 pounds of cargo. This means I can turn a gross profit of $18,160 by flying a load of DVD players to Pueblo. It is certainly better than any of the cargo flights offered at my home base!
I really should not do night flights yet. There were problems. I crashed twice. First crash was into the side of a mountain. The second was getting to low as I cam into Pueblo. I guess one really has to know the local airport and terrain pretty well before flying blind!
Air Hauler did not pick up the crashes. Instead, Prepar3d just reset and Air Hauler was none the wiser. Since this was my first flight in a while, I will take the do over!
