For the ultimate cargo geek: “Cargo Pilot” computer game

The career path starts off with you flying the likes of chickens and bags of mail to their destination in a short-range single engine aircraft, but as the money rolls in you’re able to buy bigger and better aircraft allowing for longer range flights to international cargo hubs conveying heavier and more expensive loads such as racing cars and radioactive materials – but if you don’t get there on time, or have a bumpy flight you’ll end up losing money as the damaged goods and maintenance costs eat away at your profit.

Heh. What’s next? “Freight Forwarder Tycoon”? Somewhere out there, Sid Meier is mulling it over……..

    I know one Dennis Pelino who would play freight forwarder tycoon all day long. Hell, he does it now, although his score is pretty low.
