| C001: Auto Parts |
|
There are a number of auto parts suppliers in and around the Traverse City area
of North Western Michigan. Since the automobile assembly plants are located in
the Detroit Metro area, it is necessary to ship the manufactured parts from
Traverse City to Detroit at least once per day. The flights will leave Traverse
City Cherry Capital airport (KTVC) and arrive at Willow Run Airport (KYIP),
located west of Detroit. The longest runway at KTVC is only 6501 Feet, so this
is not a run for any of the HEAVY freight carriers. Your flight back to KTVC
will be empty, unless you can manage to acquire a payload to take back. Anyone
who does so will be rewarded with a day off (sorry...all cash has to go to other
operating expenses).

| C002: Auto Transmissions |

The Hydromatic Transmission Plant in Ypsilanti, Michigan is supplying automatic
transmissions to the General Motors Lordstown, Ohio assembly plant. Two
shipments a week will be flown from Willow Run Airport (KYIP) to Cleveland
Hopkins (KCLE). Fortunately, this is a short hop, which will allow for a light
fuel load to compensate for those heavy transmissions.
