Operation "Snow cap"
Mission 03 - Sir Brick's PIREP
Gentlemen,
I finally did make it to Locarno. I arrived thursday at about 11.40
local.
Yes, I know, reporting late as usual...
Flew there directly from Buochs, following the route mr. Darkwing
suggested.
A very straightforward vfr flight and no technical problems on the way.
As you may (or may not) remember, a while ago I purchased a PC-6 Turbo
Porter with floats in Denmark; even before we moved to Helgoland. Well,
I had it flown to Pilatus in Buochs for a complete overhaul and upgrade,
but it's not ready yet.
Anyway, for the time being I'm allowed this ex-Mount Cook Line PC-6 that
they still had on stock.
Nice flying birdie.
Mr. B. 'whirly' Sumpter did some work on the acf and upgraded it to v4x
and I'm trying to 'adapt' one of Mitsuru Ishikawa's cockpits for use in
this plane...
Regards,
Brick
