Me, Staurt's, and Mike's new ferry company Long Range Aviation, started off in style...King Air 200 ferry from Guernsey UK to Honduras (my portion ended in KSRQ) Plane is going to be used as the Honduran Presidential Transport. 21.7 hours for the ferry...not too shabby!

Looks like a nice start to the business. Good luck!
 
Thanks Bill! I have my fair share of hanging my rear end over the N Atlantic in Warriors & 172s...so, this was a nice way to start out our new company. We have a few more quotes in the works. All of them are extremely nice and capable airplanes. I'll post photos and spot tracker info once we get some flights underway. Looks like our next series of potential ferries are headed to the Middle East and one to Guam. The one to Guam is currently a C208 but might end up being a PC12. I'm really hoping for the PC12!
 
That looks like a newer King Air by the avionics. ProLine?

Looks like a fun trip!

Warriors and 172's over the North Atlantic??? Sounds like a bad dream. Very cool but a bit scary.
 
Awesome. Now to get your own TV show...

2007 King Air, 2000TT, Raisbeck conversion, ProLine 21. I managed to land the trip because I was the only one insurance would qualify due to Atlantic Crossings, European experience and had 1100 hours on the Pro Line 21! Talk about good luck...I guess my time in the Regionals has finally paid off (CRJ200 had same avionics). Hopefully it leads to more.
 
Glad to have you back posting with us! And so awesome you're new business is off to a good start!

Any chance you'd make the Gastons Gathering in September?
