Second Commercial Flight

When I crashed the second time, Air Hauler put me on a grass field near Beaula, Colorado.  I set this as a dawn flight.  Even though it is the middle of the night in real time, once one goes into the flight simulator, one can change the flight.  don't like the time of day, the airplane you are flying, the weather, or whatever?  Just change it.  Air Hauler doesn't care!

I also did something stupid before the flight.  I built a haggis plant in Alamosa.  I recalled seeing sheep on the commodities list, but I was mistaken.  I should have double checked before spending $100,000 for making haggis.  Air Hauler is not forgiving of such mistakes.  Once you commit, you are really committed.  Correcting errors is impossible.

So if someone wants haggis, I guess I will have to fly sheep into Alamosa.  It is an unnecessary trip.  But I don't think there will be a huge demand for haggis.

Anyway, I decided to do another arbitrage run.  This time it was from Pueblo to Jeffco Airport with watches.  The profit was only $10 per pound, so with 1,000 pounds of watches on board, I get a $10,000 gross profit.

Jeffco is one of my favorite Air Hauler airports in the State of Colorado.  Maybe its because I have driven by it a gazillion times?  During game three, it was my home base.

Jeffco does have a lot of different commodities.  The big one it lacks, however, is electronics.  I could get electronics from nearby Buckley Air Force Base.  But this was something of a pain in the butt for such a commonly used commodity.  However, being near Denver, it tends to generate a lot of highly profitable missions.  So I will build my third base there, even if I have to beg, borrow or steal to do it.

Plus, there is a nice Orbix global scenery for this airport, unlike Alamosa and Pueblo.

The cruise altitude for this flight was set at 10,500 feet because Monument Pass is actually pretty high.  When one flies over it, it looks fairly flat.  But when one approaches the Denver metroplex from the south, it becomes apparent it is considerably higher than the Mile High City.

The landing was smooth.  I sold my watches, and started another base.

Then I bought some sheep for a trip back to Alamosa.
