Air Caribou - Flt 53

Air Caribou Flt 53 Metroliner Service from Sioux Lookout to Big Trout Lake:



























Notice how I've taken all the people off and most of the rear cargo (compare last pic to first). Still have got the SLS system figured out (how to configure or what it does), just how to fully configure the HSI for the various modes, and I still have my Fuel Xfer caution lights lit (can't find the fuel transfer switches), but most of the rest of it I've got down fairly well now. It's an "interesting" plane in a crosswind . So yeah, I too am having a blast with this machine!

O ho!  So the cargo can be configured as well as the pax?  Nifty!

P.S.  I really like the horns for Air Caribou!

Nice shots Glenn! She looks great in those Air Caribou colors.

SRL I think you mean? Put the SRL switches in the center position (after start), that should turn the annunciator lights out. Put your fuel boost pumps switches to the full up position, that will turn out the Xfer lights. With the EHSI modes, you need to click on one switch more than once to cycle through the displays. Oddities abound but it all works. Why do you think the company who built it is called Swearingen? Because the people who operate it do a whole lot of Swearing.

And yeah, there's something toxic about this pig. I can't seem to leave it alone.

Thanks Bob. Yup, finally got it all figured out on my last flight last night . Need to start doing some serious cargo flights with it now. I will say, the PMDG 737 is more fully modeled and maybe slightly more "refined" but this one is more FUN !

Glad you like Fritz. I wasn't sure about just the antlers at first, but they're "growing on me" (need to see a surgeon this week about that "little problem" ).
