You would be more relaxed seeing those glue strips that hold on the TP to the roll after a taco-nacho feast that that flight.

That must also be one light bladder holding his additional fuel.
 
Wow, how much fuel do you have to cram in there to make a caravan run for 14 hours.
Well it comes stock with about 7 hrs. So you must have one heck of a tailwind or have plan "B"
A man would be advised to bring along a parachute.
 
Is that our NW Pilot?

I've got a friend who ferried a twotter fro Australia. He said if one quit he would have just pressed forward on the yoke. "Maybe they would find you after a day, maybe they wouldn't"
 
My personal record in a Van is 5 hr.
13 hr?! Oh HELLLLLL NO!!

CE
 
I hope his iPod was charged!
 
Just another day in the life of a Pacific Wings pilot.
 
Soooooo, this was a return trip?

It is not a delivery of a new van (2002 Model S/N).

And just days after an engine out on another van in MI?


Sorry, No island hopping 'wannabe' 121 outfit pays enough for a line crew to make that flight.

Revenue 135 or not, how does an operator comply with the flight/duty day like that? "Unless otherwise approved by the administrator..."?

Heavy crew it, lol. Seriously though, this looks like a ferrying flight which would most likely be conducted under 91. No flight and duty requirements to comply with.

Mine was 5 hrs 36 min, PDX-PHX then I did it again the next day 5 hrs 36 min. PHX-PDX. All you need is a few sanwiches and bottles of H2o to fill back up.

In a twotter you got two turning.
