King Air 90 ferry flight

[414Flyer]

I have actually done that trip (the reversal of it) well starting in India, then to Oman, and then Bahrain for fuel and then back to the US. It was in a Cheyenne II.

I briefly flew thru Syrian airspace, and also over Beirut, before overnighting in Cyprus

Ill warm the right seat....maybe push some nobs and swing some levers for a worthy PIC. I flew a King Air 350 sim once if that qualifies me :nuts:

Merick - don't forget that you are calm as a cucumber in a 10' spitting barrel - compare that to an engine fire or failure!

Baja.

was calm until yesterday, i was in Hanalei doing a little surfing when i decided to take a surf break and get some body surfing in....big mistake. Had like a 6-7 footer toss my a$$ so hard my whole body hurts today. Still dont know why Im planning on going back today.

FL420, I don't pressume to know it all. Nor would I just jump blindly into something of this nature. I have enough sense to know if something is behind my reach with my experience. All I was ssaying in the begining of all this, was that I was interested in the idea. Concerning your last, my experience with International trips is limited, though I have done quiet a few trips to Canada, lol. I know this is hardly a trip a cross the pond. I guess what I am getting back to is that if I did do something like this I would not just blindly jump in to this yelling "yee-haa". I appreciate the response and do understand the need for furthering my depth of knowledge.

well, I'm having a wonderful night replying to the wrong posts. Anyways, my bad I did'nt realize who the return was addressed to. Again feelin' good, anyways my apoligy.

Can someone tell me where the term "My bad" come from. It really is a silly term.

 

[Almerick07]

I believe the term was coined from the movie "clueless" a movie about a bunch of spoiled valley girls. Its origins are actually of German descent meaning a whales vagina if memory recalls.

Circa mid 90's maybe. Used to be in my vocab - but has been since removed.

Lingo in SoCal can date you easily, so one must be on top of his game - you feel me?

Baja.

It will be a wonderful trip. You will get to go deep sea fishing, snorkeling, play with the dolphins and if you don't die of hypothermia you will get to ride on a ship such as a frieghter or a oil tanker with non-english speaking crew. Sign me up!

you guys are funny!

 

[big_al]

does flying the aeroworx simulator count?

 

[psysicx]

If you have the right amount of time can you have 0 hrs in a KA and still get ferry flights?

 

[Pilot_Ryan]

psysicx: based on the way the question is asked, no. The old saying, "If ya have to ask... "

Now if you're talking thousands of PIC turbojet and turboprop time in many other models, maybe or even probably "yes" depending on insurance.

 

[psysicx]

Thats what I was wondering. If you just do ferry flights your going to have to have somebody take a chance or just stay flying a piston.

By getting a job flying such aircraft, first an entry-level SIC position and eventually PIC. Fly an assortment of kerosene burners, then try plying your trade as a ferry pilot again. Without credentials, there will never be many (if any) takers for your services. Although to be perfectly frank, I think ferrying is generally a very lousy way to make a primary income.
