US trip (and engine failure at St Johns)

Didn’t comment until now as to not jinx it like last year. But the annual on the plane is done and everything is working out fine, so after the first part LFHN into the UK for the annual, we’re off on Thursday for the big hop across the pond.
Gamston to Reykjavik, then St Johns, Montreal and into Oshkosh. Later towards florida maybe the Bahamas and back via St Pierre and Miquelon Greenland etc…

Oh and doing a board meeting in LA (via CAT) in the middle in the mean time. Piece of cake. Will try to update while enroute…

Good luck! Spend some time flying in Iceland! I’ll be probably overtaking you (CAT) on Thursday (London – Keflavik)

Afraid it’s going to be the usual in-out job. Coming in commercial on the 24th from Milwaukee (watch dodgers game), board meeting on the 25th and out that evening. Sorry…

We got the Comanche with the tip tanks which gives us 8,5h of autonomy and the mechanic has just put in the ferry tank on the back seat which brings that up to 12hs – our longest stretch should not be more than 9.
Yes the HF is being installed today while I am finishing up at work for the week.
