AI Pilot Saves the Day

        My flight originated  from KRAP (Rapid City) and ended at a  small grass strip K64- 472 mlies to the South East.   The default Baron B58  carried 2 loads weighing about 1332 lbs.  Because of the distance and a projected tail wind, I planned on a fuel stop about half way.   I encountered  head winds that caused me to land at KANW about 50 miles short of my planned  stop.    I knew  I would not be able to get the cargo to my destination on time... so 
     I repositioned one of my nearby AI pilots to KANW,  transfered part of my cargo to the AI ship, and then repositioned the AI plane to the  destination field  K64.
     I then flew the Baron non stop to K64 and unloaded my cargo.     I then unloaded the cargo from the AI plane, and received credit for 2 successful cargo deliveries. 

     I'm not sure if AH was developed to handle this scenario , but it worked.   This kind of flexability in a game  is nice to see.   These type of situations acutally occur in the real world where one pilot is called to help another. .

Thanks again for AH
