Hi, doing some research
Hi, might seem like a strange approach this but its the best I could think of, I do a bit of writing in my spare time and have been asked to produce a couple of chapters with a view to getting something published following good reactions to some of the stuff I have done, I just need to string it together into coherent chapters.
I have been wracking my brains for a suitable area to use as a basis and I used to work in air cargo (in an office) and have a friend that still does so I can get some detail from him but I don't fancy it being office based, way too boring so I was thinking of setting it in and around a cargo carrier, the pilots and crew actually doing the flying, mainly its going to be comedy, a lot of the dialog is already written and can be adapted easily to a different situation.
So I was hoping if you would humour me and tolerate me being around whilst I do my research and check my facts, it isnt going to be 100% factual and may stretch reality somewhat but I dont want to do anyone a dissservice, so if its ok can I ask some questions and also I would love to hear some of your anecdotes about the cargo flying world, perhaps some legends that would stand being used as the basis for a character.
I think cargo is probably not an area that has been done to death, unlike the passenger side and I expect there is plenty of material to keep me going, things going wrong, all the different destinations, the aircraft etc etc.
I am aiming to get this done during 2009, I keep putting it off and getting older !
Thanks for your time and any help would be gratefully appreciated.
