Shalom Charlie, SOH is not down. SOH decided to shut down the library download center for few hours to introduce new stricter rules regarding downloading because some newbies abuses library center downloading too many downloads at once especially one new person was downloading 3,000 files AT SAME TIME!!! SOH suspects somebody is trying to steal download files to create his or her library center for public use so SOH decides to protect copyrights of repainters and developers of sceneries and planes by introducing much stricter download rules. It is not malfunction. It is caused by abuse of newbies who have no respect for generosity of repainters and developers offering freeware addons and liveries. Now SOH library is re-opened and available for dowmloading with new rules Regards, Aharon

Shalom and greetings all my pals, Presenting charter cargo hauling flight from PANC to Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport located 5 miles southwest of downtown Anchorage to PAUN Unalakleet Airport located one nautical mile north of the central business district of Unalakleet in the Nome Census Area Cruising at FL300 after take off from PANC with nice background view of full moon Cruising above pretty Alaskan snow landscape On descent from FL300 to 3,000 ft on way to PAUN runway Having fun flying through clouds during descent Emerging from clouds More clouds to pass through At 3,000 ft above snowy landscape On final runway approach to runway 32 Look at frozen waters of Norton Sound On perfect final approach!! Dig the airport scene where you can find famous Jim Tweto's red plane parked there Seconds before touchdown TOUCHDOWN Braking down on very slippery ice runway Stopped with plenty of runway distance left Backtracking on icy runway with hope that my plane would NOT slide out of runway into ground!! Taxiing toward the terminal Crossing intersection of two runways Exiting from runway into passenger and cargo apron Arriving at cargo apron with background view of famous green Era building where you can see the pickup truck next to the green building which is the same truck that a rookie Era airline pilot would later accidentally wrecks the driver's door not realizing the winds would be too strong enough to wreck it when opening it!! Yikes look at icy cargo apron ground Thank you for viewing and stay tuned for next exciting flight. Regards, Aharon

Shalom and greetings all my pals, Presenting nice flight from PANC to PAMC which calls for SPECIFIC use of Northern Air Cargo Boeing 737-300F to carry Musher drop bags, straw bales, and HEET fuel at grand cargo weight total of 42,000 lbs for the use of coming annual famous dog sled race Before all of you start screaming that it is wrong livery, believe it or not Northern Air Cargo actually used this livery to fly many flights within ALASKA!! Passing through clouds on climb to FL180 after take off from PANC Still climbing showing bizarre view of combo of Hawaiian livery and very snowy Alaskan landscape Cruising t FL180 just above high Alaskan mountains Descending through clouds on way to PAMC runway 16 On final runway approach to runway 16 It is NOT uncommon for any Alaskan based airline to make runway approach JUST INCHES above the top of trees for sole purpose of making touchdown on piano bars or at beginning of short runway. NO KIDDING Seconds before touchdown TOUCHDOWN specifically on piano bars Braking down on icy runway spewing snow blowing Arrived at cargo apron to unload supplies for the dog sled race Thank you for viewing my flight report. Stay tuned for next exciting flight. Regards, Aharon

@UrgentSiesta, Thank you for your kind words and nice to meet you on Avsim forums. Actually, the helicopters that I mentioned in the original post are actually army and National Guard helicopters hence KC-10's action. Smiling Regards, Aharon

Shalom and greetings all my pals, As all of you know that huge numbers of bush planes, helicopters, and twin propeller planes used PABE Bethel airport to run round trip relief aid flights between the airport and many many tiny or villages with tiny airports to drop off much needed supplies, to pick up wounded citizens affected by the natural disaster called Typhoon Halong, and to evacuate any survivors. That got me thinking. The PABE Bethel airport has good runway distance enough for big jets to fly supplies from PANC or PAFA to PABE and pick up survivors to fly back WITHOUT REFUELING to the two mentioned big cities. BUT BUT BUT the problem is that PABE Bethel airport has extremely limited aviation fuel reserves. The airport gets fresh supply of aviation fuel twice a year BY BOAT always on fall and spring to avoid frozen ice on rivers. The twice a year fuel supply is sufficient for normal flights out of PABE. HOWEVER, because of the Typhoon Halong disaster, there was massive massive stream of bush planes, tri-propeller planes, and helicopters doing relief aid and rescue flights which posed an important question: how to satisfy FUEL HUNGER of sheer volume of bush planes, tri-propeller planes, and helicopters. PABE airport's normal fuel reserves are NOT designed to handle incredible number of flights. HENCE my theory on how PABE airport solved the problem. Bear in mind it is my theory. Presenting emergency fuel supply flight from PAEI Eielson Air Force Base located approximately 26 miles southeast of Fairbanks to PABE Bethel Bethel Airport located three nautical miles southwest of the central business district of Bethel KC-10 heavily loaded with aviation fuel ready for emergency fuel flight Taxiing to runway Airborne on climb to FL360 heading westward Still climbing with nice background view of full moon Still on ascend with amazing background view of sun Now cruising at FL360 Sorry Cannot resist brilliant colors of sun view Looking out of cockpit window where you can get COMBO view of sun and famous 20,000 ft high Mount McKinley mountains Passing the Mt McKinley mountains Descending from FL360 to 10,000 ft Passing through clouds at 7,000 ft during descent from 10,000 ft to 3,000 ft Passing Ptarmigan street of city of Bethel on final approach to runway 18 Don't you hate ultra strong Alaskan winds preventing any plane from making touchdown?? Sigh sigh Gonna reduce throttle power Also the FSX default birds flying in background was worrying me. Do not want bird strike in my plane full of explosive fuel!! Few seconds before touchdown blowing snow dust TOUCHDOWN Don't you love snow blowing behind the plane? Front landing gear making very slow and smooth glide down to runway while blowing snow dust Did I say front wheels STILL making very very very slow and smooth gliding down? Front landing gear finally made runway contact Arriving at cargo apron waiting for fuel trucks to come and pick up fuel to be transferred to the airport's fuel reserves Thank you for viewing. Stay tuned for next flight. Regards, Aharon
