Takk for invitasjon med UPS.
Yes, it is a bit out of the way to connect several times on the UPS system, but the price is right.. :)
I have jumpseated UPS numerous times in the past and have always enjoyed the experience.
I flew a few hundred hours on the UPS DC-8s as a co-pilot before UPS got their own certificate. (Evergreen contract)
Know the SDF hub well.
(Male bonding and box lunches)
A couple of Scandinavian UPS pilots live here in Ft. Lauderdale.
A MIA base is highly recommended: Sunshine and palm trees.
In the past few years we have flown Air Frog to Oslo from MIA via CDG.
Also used BA and LH, etc.
The reason I posted this topic on the direct flights between OSL and FLL was to just avoid the plane changes and headaces running from terminal to terminal, gate to gate, etc.
It seems from the above replies that it was indeed Brittania that flew in to Ft. Lauderdale, but they must have discontinued the service since I am unable to find any current info on the route.
Is Brittania still in business?
Swedish registerd aicraft? But British company..? (Or at least a very British name)
At any rate, thanks for the above replies gentlemen.
Oh, and since I am on the air:
Lost contact with a couple of SAS pilots I knew way back: Are you on PPRuNE J.V?
Or E.H? K.M?
Also a bunch or dudes from Øyvind Berg's flight school in Tennessee I have not seen in years. Any of you out there?
(I was in the first class in May 1978)
