CBG:. .. .Hi: I see you fly from St Martin?. .. .Yes I was the pilot in charge of the Aeropostale flight and because the airplane is Canadian registered I had to fly the complete trip.. .. .If you read "Un vol de legende sur les traces de L'Aeropostale" you will see several pictures of me with the rest of the crew.. .. .I flew with Patrick Baudry for two years and gave him his PBY type rating. Patrick in turn gave me the Airbus A320 course as I was working as part of the Airbus team at that time. . .. .I also was the pilot in charge of Project Okavango for TF1 in 1995/96.. .. .The airplane is Canadian registered and owned by Franklin Devaux of the French Flying Ledgends fame. Our next project will be a trip around the world due to start sometime near the end of this year.. .. .Hope that answers some of your questions. . .By the way even though I have been flying in France for about seven years my understanding of French is limited.. .. .I am basically just a brain dead pilot, so don't expect to much.. .. .All the best: Chuck Ellsworth.. ............... . <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="biggrin.gif" /> The hardest thing about flying is knowing when to say no. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="biggrin.gif" />
