A patchwork plane. One more crate. A perfectly questionable way to make a living.

Your airline. Your problem.

One more crate. What could go wrong?

Run your own bush airline out of a plane held together by rivets, fabric, and whatever you fixed last time. More weight means more money. Getting it off the ground is your problem. Getting the center of gravity back where it belongs is also your problem.

TAIL HEAVY
If it fits, it ships.
Overload for a bigger payday. The runway isn't getting any longer, and the trees at the end aren't moving.
You are the ground crew.
Fuel it, load it, throw the chocks. The brakes are shot. Try to catch it before it leaves without you.
Look busy. Very busy.
The A.S.S. inspector is on the ramp. He can't be bribed. He can be distracted by a whole cake.
Bring a friend. Or don't.
Fly with an NPC first officer, or let a buddy drop into the right seat. Somebody has to hold it steady.

Everything that can break, will. Most of it you fix in flight.

questionable airline

Made by a real pilot. Yes, really.

Tail Heavy is made by a working turboprop pilot. Every gag in here is something that would get you fired at a real airline, which is exactly why it's fun.
