World of AI need to take care!

Post by speedbird591 »

I was just browsing the World of AI site to see which airlines I needed to delete and which ones to update. I found a new Cargo airline that I hadn't seen before. Smugglers. Funny name for an airline, I thought, Smugglers :worried: And then I thought, I wonder if it's ... smugglers :bandit:

So I downloaded it and it consists of a motley bunch of GA aircraft flying from Panama, Colombia, Honduras etc to discreet airstrips in Florida. What d'you think? B-)

Well, who'd have thought that they flew to a timetable - I bet the Feds didn't know that! I think I'd better call for some backup before I go looking for them.

Ian :lol:

Naw only the DEA can do that

It would be fun flying a Citation and flying intercepts over the gulf of Mexico

I suppose what I need to do now is to secretly program some AI DEA flights to arrive at these strips to catch them red-handed with the goods! What would I use? A helicopter gunship or something? Or as Leif suggests, a Citation? And should I get there first and wait in hiding or land just afterwards and catch them transferring it?

On the other hand, after reading 'The Power of the Dog', maybe I'll just walk away and see nothing ...

Ian,

I think the DEA have a fleet of Black Hawks in Black with gold detail, plus in the Caribbean you'll have USCG helos so Jay Hawks and maybe Makos as well as the odd RN Lynx.

The drug smuggling pilots seemed pretty good, several hours of lights out night flying at low level over the sea can be quite sporty...

That sounds pretty cool, Skippy. Especially the Black Hawks with gold trim. Bling with muscle! I don't suppose there are any AI models, though.

Once upon a time the gents from FLETC at Glynco flew Mohawks (yes they were armed) Hueys and several rather twee Broncos but that was thirty years ago when the media hadn't noticed them.

Oh before you go google it - Federal Law Enforcement Training Center Brunswick Georgia -- Its where the DEA pilots learnt their trade.
They flew better than the runners -- putting a Citation behind a twin cessna at very low level at night without lights is an art.

Oh yes
The drug smuggling pilots seemed pretty good, several hours of lights out night flying at low level over the sea can be quite sporty...
Ummm No downright lethal -- I have heard several of the FLETC legends -- including a gent who tried to take a Cessna 404 out of a Columbia field one night slightly overloaded -- he folded a main gear leg
and the nice Columbian gents who had recently loaded his aircraft dug a large hole with a front loader and put the aircraft and him in it.....still alive!!

there are alot wrecks on the bottom of the Caribe and the Gulf complete with pilots that DIDN'T make it.
