UHD2605 | The Turbo Trap
Episode UHD2605 is officially live for Patreon Early Access! Grab a coffee, lock yourself into the flight deck, and get ready for a total shift in our operational routine.
After braving the North Sea gale to deliver critical medical supplies to Helgoland in PH-HDA, Captain Compass is heading back to the mainland. Our Chief Dispatcher has routed us to NATO Airbase Geilenkirchen to inspect and pick up the newest addition to the Special Air Service VAG fleet.
There’s just one catch: No G1000 NXi. No Synthetic Vision. No glass screens.
We are stepping back in time to fly a vintage, high-performance aircraft equipped with an unforgiving turbocharger. One wrong throttle push or improper mixture adjustment during climb, and we risk blowing the engine—and throwing SAS VAG right back into debt.
“Who Dares, Flies!”
The shakedown is over and Compass takes the overhauled PH-HDA on its first commercial run to the island of Helgoland. But will he be able to land the C172 on this postage stamp in the middel of a North Sea storm?
