I'd love to come a bit further east, gents, but it looks as if the rain is coming to put an end to the fun :cry: So I suspect that my next flight will be YTH direct...

Still, it's early season yet, so lots more to go.


Buffalo went through YGM a week or so ago, ferrying a 215 over to Turkey. Anyone know how they're getting on? Did they get across the Atlantic yet, or still waiting on the east coast?



Hi NS ..they made it to Adana Turkey yesterday. Their routing took them to Greenland, Iceland, Scotland, France, then Croatia for a few days while the paper work got sorted. The Rogue and I ship out on Saturday from Korea via the airlines to Adana.

I was in Fort McMurray yesterday and saw 4 Air Tractors on floats doing a formation takeoff. They were staggered on the runway and departed at the same time. It looked cool but they seemed pretty close.

Well then one falls out of the formation and makes a forced approach. The others fly on.
