Yea, I had to break the news to a few other pilots in Bangor today.
Looking like I will not be tanked until monday I was 15 min late in to
Bangor I had to wait for the ice to melt off the plane and got out of
KLUX about 1/2 hour late.
Will try and keep up with posts... The GPS was showing 10.5 hours from
bangor to Santa Maria (LPAZ) and 174 Gallons required Today, Some nice
winds predicted this weekend hope they can tank me quick tomarrow.
Jeff Hall is the 4th ferry pilot that I knew of to go down on the
sectors between
Goose and Reykjavik in the past 4-5 years. ...Prior to GPS in the
1980's it
used to be around three a year. ...It's a very dangerous game!
