I get regular updates from my contacts at Thunder City (flew with them 4 years ago!).
This was the first that announced:
After a long trek through the minefield of regulation, Thunder City managed to secure a permit to fly XW 987 (ZU-BCR) in the private category.
Mike Beachy Head and I flew her on a test-flight Thursday 23 February. It was a flawless fifty-five minute sortie - a fine tribute to the engineers who worked hard to prepare for flight.
It felt almost surreal, with the ADD occasionally punctuating the dream with reality.
We won't be doing commercial flights any more, but the mighty Buccaneer will continue gracing the Cape skies - as often as the pocket allows.
