Following on from Dick de Boer's request in another thread (http://www.fly-euroharmony.com/forum/index.php/topic,7157.0.html) about more flights to the Scottish Islands, I have created what I hope you will all find an enjoyable and challenging set of 14 special missions for the WILD Twin Otter. In order to ferry a team of specialists around the most remote islands around Scotland's coast researching how best to improve Internet accessibility and speed, WILD Division has been chartered to bring our special skills and experience of bush flying to the table!

The route you will follow takes you around some of the most beautiful yet dangerous terrain in the British Isles, including famous locations such as Barra's beach runways, the ultra-short flight between Westray and Papa Westray and the perennial favourites of Stornoway and Benbecula. Make sure your short field technique is well polished and that you can carry out a crosswind landing with your eyes closed ;D
The Missions are scheduled to stay active for 12 months so you have every opportunity to try out all the variations of weather that Scotland can throw at you - you may fly these Missions as many times as you might like ;)

Loganair landed a the latest 3-year contract for scheduled flights for our Leg 09 (Westray to Papa Westray); the shortest scheduled flight in the world.
In order to fulfill the contract, both landing strips have been extended in order to comply with regulations on landing and take-off distances.
We'll just leave the scenery as is ;)
