C001: Auto Parts to Motor City

There are a number of auto parts suppliers in and around the Traverse City area of North Western Michigan. Since the automobile assembly plants are located in the Detroit Metro area, it is necessary to ship the manufactured parts from Traverse City to Detroit at least once per day. The flights will leave Traverse City Cherry Capital airport (KTVC) and arrive at Willow Run Airport (KYIP), located west of Detroit. The longest runway at KTVC is only 6501 Feet, so this is not a run for any of the HEAVY freight carriers. Your flight back to KTVC will be empty, unless you can manage to acquire a payload to take back. Anyone who does so will be rewarded with a day off (sorry...all cash has to go to other operating expenses).
