2 Fantastic Lycomings
Dear All,
I just stumble in this room accidentally, but i won't mind to drop a line or two,
I did a ferry flt on a PA-31 NAVAJO from San Diego(montgomery Airport) to East Africa in May 2003
Wx far North was lousy so i opted for direct from Saint Jones CA to Azores FL 190
took me a little over 9hrs with 140kts on my tail, I looked on Both GPS ground speed and they confirmed i was doing 350kts, I prayed it stayed that way which it did, with a blue sky all across the nasty pond, i couldn't stop smiling, when i saw a hill in the middle of the ocean about 80nm or so. I asked my self why would anyone want to get expensive PT-6 while a 2 Lycomings would speed you the same across? ha ha oh yes if the power of your good Lord is behind you..
I salute those who criss cross the Pond.... but as for me? been there done that!
