May 23, 200521 yr Hi All,Although I have never done any humanitarian simulation flight of sofar, I did a real one this weekend.On Saturday 21st of May, we flew 35tons of High Energy Biscuits for the World Food Programme from Brindisi (Italy) to Djibouti. We departured empty from Liege (Belgium) and loaded it up in Brindisi.To see a small selection of the pictures have a look over at http://www.spaanlo.nl/mambo/index.php?set_...=view_album.php. I am collecting the photos of the other members of the crew, but these were taken by me. Although my website is dutch, you will quickly find out how to navigate through the pictures :) On board we had 3 pilots, 1 flight engineer, 1 loadmaster, 1 journalist of the Telegraaf (largest newspaper in the Netherlands) and myself as coordinator.Regards, Ferry

May 27, 200521 yr That is very, very interesting. Would love to hear more about it. Too bad the link you provided did not open :-( Mambo returned a message that the gallery was not yet configured.Anyway, we are currently running the UN & RC Virtual and, again, I would be very much interested in knowing more about your flight and experience. Would have loved to be there and have done something for real, flew many times in and out of Brindisi but only virtually...Thanks a lot for sharing this and please come visit us (and let us know about the link, I definitely want to see your pics...).___________________Marcelo M
