Congrats to Asquared! New DC6 Capt!

[Timebuilder]

with CB-16 power settings and 100 LL, it's 100,000 lb or 103,800 if you have an autofeather system.

With CB-17 power settings and 108/135 grade fuel or better you could go up to 107,000.

If you're ever up here, you'll have to drop by for a tour of the '6. A recovering hot-rodder like yourself would get a kick out of it.

Believe me, if I do get up there, you and Mar are invited for dinner.

cheers

So that's what you've been up to this whole time!!!

Congratulations Mar & Asquared!

Gotta get that left seat "6" time in before you have to fly a turboprop again (ATR)......

We occasionally have a FAI Fedex charter..... but usually only have a few minutes on the ground.....

I'll keep an ear out for you in BET.... ( I have my type ride this coming week and will be "honored" with the early morning FOG RUN to Bethel as well)

Blue Skies....

almost time for the BBQ to come out...... (although it's snowing pretty good right now)

It is 70 degrees and I just finished cutting my grass. For some reason deep inside I am a little jealous of you guys. Wish I was going to BET to fly in the fog. I miss it. Instead I get to commercial from Miami to DTW to CMH. Then I get to do something I know that you won't be able to do. Fly 174 19 to 23 year olds to Montego Bay, Jamaica,and the majority of them are midwestern girls. I should just fly to to Bethel, that would change the population profile a little bit. I would be fired upon landing but do think a Bethel operation would pick me up to fly the 207?Think my wife would fire me too.

Turbo,

I think that a 738 full of college girls would be received very enthusiastically in Bethel. You would immediately achieve hero status there. I'm sure any job in town would be yours for the asking .... your passengers would probably not be amused though, especially if they were expecting Montego Bay.

 

[TurboS7]

Let's see-CMH-BET about 6 hours and 45 minutes very doable. Think you'll be able to have 178 parkas for the girls, I forgot about our FA's. Wouldn't that be a laugh. I mean the beach really isn't that far from Bethel, just down the river a bit.

Thanks, mar, and right back at ya.
tragically, there were no ignition analyzer questions on the oral... but it went well nonetheless. For the rest of you, thanks, and congrats are in order for mar also. He just completed his DC-6 Type rating this afternoon.

Congratulations to both of you! Enjoy flying a classic airplane.

 

[Dubya]

Congrats!

Just adding my congrats! mar and asquared...congratulations on your achievements. What a treat to fly a piece of aviation history. I'm sure you both put in lots of hard work.

mar..no wonder you were a little chippy the other day!

[mar]

Yeah, yeah, yeah...

I deserve that.

And the good news is my left eye has stopped twitching.

Does that happen to anyone else? The Type Twitch?

Good luck on the ride, hope it goes well We should set up a BBQ grill right on the line between your ramp and ours ... that should give our respective management types some heartburn.

Does that happen to anyone else? The Type Twitch?

Yeah, mine wasn't limited to my eye though, it was more of a full body twitch ... I'm all better now......really
