Transported two Hummers and supplies via C-130 to MMUN. Will top off tanks in Cancun and then return to KDFW for further supplies and a faster bird for return to MMUN.

After spending the night in Miami, I'm now going to return my 747 to MSP with a few passengers who wish to go further east!!

I was disappointed about the real weather in FS9, but I compensated for it. I went to the weather settings in FS9 and changed it from real weather by selecting the option for "developing thunderstorms."
Now I need to make a trip to Cancun to save those who want to leave.
