EHM-1465 Dominic:
Leg 5 - to Kentucky

Details
The next flight takes us near to the central location in one of Bond's earliest but most memorable films - Goldfinger. This was the Bond film that showed us the Aston Martin DB5 in all its gadget-filled glory, the gold painted Bond girl (sadly murdered by the baddie's henchman Oddjob) and gave us the immortal exchange between Goldfinger and a captured Bond, who was tied to a table with a high power laser above him:-
Bond: "Goldfinger, do you expect me to talk?"
Goldfinger: "No Mr Bond, I expect you to die!"

The key location is Fort Knox, the US Gold Bullion Depository and in the film, baddie Goldfinger plans to make his own stock of gold much more valuable by breaking into Fort Knox and setting off a nuclear bomb there to render the United States gold reserve highly radioactive and therefore useless.

The airport we are visiting for this flight is KSDF - Louisville International, Kentucky which is the nearest significant public airport. This is UPS's main hub for cargo ops so you may feel a little outnumbered by brown and white planes here ;) There are three main runways here with the longest 11,890 feet long. You can find freeware FS9 sceneries HERE and FSX ones HERE.
