BORING BUT NECESSARY

Early 1990's in the days when we jet swapped the ac in MPA by flying them down. 10hrs10min Coningsby to Ascension. Followed by ASI -MPA, MPA TO RIO,RIO TO ASI, ASI TO CONINGSBY. The jets taken down were specially tested for oil consumption. not so sure about the ones we brought back for major servicing. The south atlantic is one big old place when your PNR on the tanker is fast approaching and the fuel line says Africa 900nm South America 800nm
