BACKGROUND:

AIR TOURISM: Air-Bayou is presented as an independent air-tour opera-tor, offering scenic aerial tours of the bayou, city, and surrounding areas. Owned and operated by Vinny Scaletta, a former USAF Hercules Troop Transporter Pilot, the business promises unique experiences. However, online reviews paint a different picture, showcasing exaggerated tales of bizarre encounters and erratic behavior. “Zero Stars: Pilot was rude to me and my classmates and threatened to throw us out of the plane if we did not stop with our woke -liberal agenda” “1 Star: Pilot seduced my wife, I regrettably give one star, because she insisted I couldn’t give him zero” “5 stars: I am the previous posters wife. I’ll definitely fly air-bayou again”. “1 Star: Honey?” “4 Stars: Pilot made the cheer captain Casey ride up front with him and closed the door to the cockpit, He didn’t even turn off the comms so we heard everything they were in there, how can he fly and , ya know….we were terrified he’d crash !” “Zero Stars: Pilot stank of alcohol and made me take the controls while he -had to catch some zees-“ “Three stars, pleasant flight, until something fell off…Pilot said it was nothing to worry about unless we had to land on the ground”. “Four Stars: Pilot never called me back after he said he would.. I mean the flight was okay but…Vinny, call me please, I missed my period!” “Two stars: Pilot and co-pilot got into a brawl mid-flight over some disagreement about the election” “Zero Stars: Pilot mocked my accent during the entire flight and was culturally insensitive”. The truth is these online reviews are created by online bot farms, programmed to deter genuine -sane- customers from chartering a flight. Air Tourism is just the registered front, its books all cooked to ensure that it appears to be a functioning business. The real business is Air Freight.

AIR FREIGHT: Air-Bayou's covert air freight operations deal in the transportation of illicit goods. Vinny, with rumored ties to organized crime, specializes in transporting items such as drug precursors, illegal migrants (willing individuals seeking discreet entry or exit), and contraband between Louisiana, Mexico, and Cuba. Using an amphibious air-craft, he conducts trade meetings at sea to avoid detection. The list of goods transported includes illegal items, from counterfeit goods to prohibited agricultural products. It's important to note that Vinny does not engage in human trafficking of unwilling individuals. Some of the things he brings in (if there is the demand) ivory, exotic skins, Rhino Horn. Protected Natural Resources: Rare woods, minerals, hard to source meat products such as veal. Counterfeit Goods: Fake designer clothing, accessories, electronics, pharmaceuticals, and other counterfeit items. Firearms Parts and Accessories: Firearm parts, ammunition, and accessories. (useful for changing your gun barrel if your fire arm is often used in a crime, for forensic duping) Cultural Artifacts: Archaeological treasures, artwork, historical items, and other cultural artifacts. Ancient relics, pottery, sculptures, and other archaeological treasures. Precious Metals and Minerals: Gold, silver, copper, and other precious metals, as well as valuable minerals. Pirated Media: Illegally copied movies, music, software, and other digital content. Chemicals and Controlled Substances: Chemicals and substances used in drug manufacturing known as precursor chemicals. Stolen Vehicle parts Counterfeit Currency: Fake banknotes and coins. Tobacco Products: Counterfeit or illegally manufactured tobacco products. Art and Antiques: Stolen or illegally exported art, antiques, and collectibles. Electronics: Stolen or counterfeit electronic devices and components. Prohibited Agricultural Products: Illegally exported agricultural products, seeds, and plants. Fake Documents: Counterfeit passports, visas, identity documents, and other fake documents. Vinny also offers discreet disposal services for bodies or individuals he deems "subhuman" – such as rapists, sadistic predators, and other morally reprehensible individuals – in the depths of the Sigsbee Deep (3 miles down) , ensuring they remain hidden from detection like Jimmy Hoffa remains hidden from detection to this date “I can assure you , where ever he is, its wet”

EMPLOYMENT: • Ground Crew: Responsible for aircraft maintenance and communication. As well as duping air traffic control with drones with the flight transponder attached. Facilitate connections with buyers and sellers and identify market demands and manage deceptive marketing strategies. (The negative reviews ) Also day to day running of the business front for walk up customers, taking bookings etc. • Flight Crew: Assist with cargo handling and provide muscle during smuggling runs. There is an opportunity obviously to learn how to fly a plane on the job, though that takes a while. There will be a -skybox- with a flight scene in order to facilitate in flight rp, saving the lag of flying a vehicle across the sims. And from time to time there will be smuggling scenarios rezzed in same spot for -storyteller- driven experiences. Such as encounters with coastguard or hostile smugglers. • Probationary Employees: Individuals on probation are employed to maintain a facade of legitimacy. They're falsely accounted for during work inspections, with Vinny providing cover stories to probation officers for a small fee of course. His probation employees are said to be out “going door to door delivering flyers around the bayou and surrounding area, this of course is just a cover, if the employee stops payment, Vinny stops covering , and informs the probation services that the employee stopped showing up. There's always the Sigsbee Deep should the employee forget the terms of the deal and decide to get at him for in-forming the parole service when payment ceased.

UNIQUE:

EXPERIENCE: Having been part of Second Life for a considerable time, (original account 2006, ) I have had the pleasure of building and running sims and serving as admin in others .I believe ultimately R.P is for fun, I know when to play for laughs and when to play serious, I aim to enrich roleplay experiences by filling the gap in NPC courier services and building connections between different the individual sims within CD.. Both backwaters and Hathian would stand to benefit from his Import and Export trade (So many people trade on the dark web out of state, but how are they shipping their stuff? This service exists to answer that riddle, optionally of course. For those with a vested interest in plausibility ))

IDEAS: Air-Bayou's operations seek to serve as a freelance courier for existing businesses, facili-tating discreet transportation of goods and individuals. Additionally, the air tourism aspect will surely be inter-esting for those not run off by the negative reviews. Those poor individuals who book an air tour are surely in for a unique and harrowing (albeit hilarious) flight expe-rience. This private business is not intended to blow up into any-thing too big, it is a private business and will operate as demand dictates,, we’re available for one offs or as long term suppliers… creating scenarios of runs, running the regular tours for the foolhardy who ooc are expecting a flight from hell… Feel free to reach out with any questions or adjustments needed.
