To all the ATC guys and girls from Greece to Vanuatu. Thanks for your patience and tollerance of a 90kt CLIAS aircraft in your arrival and departure flow. Particularly to the Calcutta departures controller who didn't realise how slow we were and gave us runway heading as a departure instruction while the tower controller lined up jets for take-off behind us and with multiple jets on ILS final. I've never heard so many jets get spun off an ILS in my life! That poor bastard is probably still in the nut house cursing our call sign!
The other reason for the rear vision mirror on the TriBongo is so you can get out of the way of Geese and other migratory birds wanting to pass.
great post
And despite all the hassles, ferry flying is still the best there is (except gliding, survey, mustering, helicopter ops, charter and airline.)
