Hey guys, been a bit busy with reviewing and my new job, now a gas tanker driver, but i have started the VPA world tour, about 60 odd stops starting in France and ending in France

so i thought i would post a couple of shots, unedited straight from my last flight it was 3am so not much point taking a whole heap of shots, so i took a couple enjoy







this was leg three from EKVG to BIKF, i have decided to use the latest addition to my hanger the Pilatis PC-12 from flight 1, hope you like

Jason

yes it is very dark at night up near the artic circle, i was surprised myself, but it is a great cockpit to night fly, the instruments are lit perfectly

Leg 5: BGBW to CYQX.

Next leg, weather was good when we left, but as winter in the north it changes quick


loading my VIP's going to Canada


Take off, i love flying the PC-12 such a smooth aircraft


descending from cruise showing off some of the fancy displays in this bird


the snow started at 20000ft


the airport coming through the cloud and snow


lining up on final, had a 20 odd knot cross wind


about 30seconds from touch down, luckly the wind dropped off


looking back at the aircraft after taking the VIP's into their hanger. i have to say the metar was out, it said light snow, i hardly call this light!!!

next leg to follow
