Whale Search (Flight plan courtesy of Alf Denham)
Professor Blubber is the Director of the Florida Marine Conservancy (FMC) and this morning you fly him and his large team in commuter aircraft to Key West where he is hosting an International Conference on Marine Life. On arrival at KEYW taxi to terminal where Prof. Blubber learns there is an unusually large pod of Orca whales 30nm NE of Key West. He requests you change aircraft to amphibians and fly to Sugar Loaf Shores and collect an FMC scientist and equipment, then on to Summerland Key Cove to pick up a Professional camera man and natural history enthuiasts, then head for Whale Pod WHP below 1000 ft to find the whales and make contact with the FMC research vessel. Land beside the vessel (Pause makes a good brake!) and transfer people and equipment and collect latest data then head back to Key West where he can open the Conference at midday.
***Users of FSX, FSX Steam and Prepar3D can install my Scenery File WhalePod.zip to display the research vessel and the whales. Place the unzipped folder WhalePod in your Addon Scenery folder, and then activate as usual in the scenery library. Users on other platforms may have to use their imagination.
