salt_air's Mountain Mission Expedition ... " Looney in a Gooney"

Congratulations Austin. Your narratives have been engaging and truly entertaining. What wonderful cargo manifests. Every post became a "must read." The last story, in particular, had me on the edge of my seat wondering what would happen on the final dramatic leg. Nice save. (You mention the exercise of a certain colorful vocabulary, and the unappreciative reaction of the local observers. How truly familiar is that scene. Not everyone understands. We surely do.) Bravissimo!
 
Absolutely fantastic to follow progress and great commentary all the way . One perfect DC-3 at Salta , A great achievement . Still desperately trying to re-skin the belly fuselage on the C-54 . At least the bare-metal finish should be nicely weathered by the time I return it to london :)

The organisers have certainly produced probably the finest event yet .

First rate Austin . Congrats:icon29::applause:
 
Found more work ...

First off I'd like to say thanks to this great group of well respected pilots for these fine closing acknowledgements.


Secondly ... there's no rest for the weary and I have found more work :wiggle:

"Spooky" to me as to how my "Solo Flight" around the world has been able to incorporate (with a tad of imagination) three free standing events that just happened to be be in it's path.


Hope to finish as close to Labor Day as possible ... just shy of the anniversary date of 10 Aug 2011.



Cheers,
 
Congrats on a great run and very entertaining commentary. Most economical with the avgas too. I am sure Miss Nellie appreciates that.

You guys are too kind! ... all of you.

Thanks, I appreciate it.



We each had our own hurdles to get over ... some a little more than others.

It's all of the parts that make up the whole (group) and what a great group it is.

Everyone that came out did a fantastic job in their own right.



:wavey:
 
Thanks Willy!


Finding my way back to Curacao ... wasn't sure about making additional posts beyond the event and it will eventually tie into me finishing up a flight around the world that's about a year old now.... :sleep: ... so I'll pile them up on this thread:

Hoping to "pick up" some stragglers along the way, but if not then my co-pilot Sally should keep things interesting.



Awesome event ... now back to work!
