In 2010, the History Channel presented its "Most Extreme Airports", which was the inspiration for this mission. Here you are presented with the challenge of takeoff and landing at 5 of them. You will have the option of doing this twice...in 2 different aircraft, the first being a bit easier than the second. Successful landing grants you goal achievement and you are automatically advanced to the next airport challenge. Should you crash or otherwise fail, your airport progress is preserved, thus you do not have to save the mission in progress, simply reload at your convenience. You will fly ENSD, Anda, Norway in the Baron and KingAir; LFLG, Courchevel, France in the PiperCub and Cessna172; LPMA, Madeira, Portugal in the 737 and 747; LXGB, Gibraltar, UK in the CRJ700 and A321; and MHTG, Toncontin, Honduras VFR assisted with hoops and unassisted with 2.5 NM visibility. This mission lacks only the reward, which will be added to final version...Enjoy the Challenge at the "Advanced" skill level.

This is an update for FSX of the Alphasim RA-5C Vigilante made for FS9. I have given it a 2-D panel and put gauges on the virtual cockpit so both look similar. Best of all, the hud shows properly in the VC. I have adjusted the flight dynamics some as well. This is the whole aircraft.

FSX Fairchild Model 91 Package. Built in 1934/35 to meet a requirement for Pan Am for an amphibian flying boat suitable for operations in South America Amazon and Chinese Yangtse regions and up to 8 passengers could be carried in the hull. Some sources say 6 were built (2 going to Pan Am and 2 to private buyers and 2 to Japan) while others say 8 were built but I am pretty sure that actually 7 or 9, including the prototype, were built with a pair serving for Pan Am, a pair for Brazil, two for Japan and two sold to private buyers, of which one was later used by the RAF in Egypt. The confusion could lie in the fact that the Brazillian pair and the Pan Am pair were the same (ie: Pan Am serving out of Brazil). The original prototype served with the Spanish Nationalists after they captured it off the Republicans during the Civil war years and the RAF also used one in Egypt as an Air and Sea Rescue type.Model, VC Panel, Panel, flight dynamics By Chris Herring.

This P-3 series is an FSX legacy version. The VC reads the default B747. You may disagree with this technique, but only download it if you can tolerate it. There are some changes to the model for MSFS2020, so it doesn't make sense to use it with FSX or P3Dv4.
