[Wot2025] Sunday Volunteers and Transport

It's looking an awful lot like the aero tow ferry flights to Petersburg are
not going to happen. The weather doesn't look so bad as to prevent the tow
planes from flying to Petersburg, though.

We will make a call about the ferry flights tomorrow morning, by 9:00. I
have a few phone calls to make about sorting out a few remaining questions
about tomorrow's cannibals and missionaries solutions.

The current plan is to go ahead with the existing assumption that it's
going to be good tomorrow morning.  At the very least, Richard Good will
end up at Petersburg to wait for the Imram's Cirrus to arrive at Petersburg
to fly Richard Good back to Front Royal.  Once Richard is back at Front
Royal, he can aerotow one of the tow planes to Petersburg.  Whether or not
there's a glider behind that tow plane is the only question.


Here are the updated possibilities in the WoT Bible:
