TOUGH MAN CHALLENGE # 12

By Ron Jorgensen

FS9

In the past I have had you going into “holes in the ground” (M$ Mesh problems) as an adventure (?). This Tough Man Challenge will have you coming out of some of those holes. Aircraft is of your choice except please do not use a “Turbo” as that is not much of a problem most of the time.

I tried a crop duster (Transvis PL-12 Airtruk) plus others. The PL-12 is one ugly plane (?) but it sure jumps up in the air fast. My old trusty DHC-3 Otter has to sit by the side and watch this time. I will be listing the departing runway to be used not the arriving runway. Most of these will have you doing a tight spiral to gain altitude. Default everything used. No add on’s.
