Thanks VF,
don't expect to many tips, just 2:
1. Use common sense when flying (rules can't cover everything)
2. If you don't feel comfortable with the task just don't do it, even if someone has done it before.

Up here in the north we have a good variety of jobs, so it doesn't get boring.

So what is involved in the variety Spencer 17?
Many moons ago also pax (but I didn't need that)
Not to forget the weather up here can make it very interesting.

I would hope day VFR for that type of flying work TC. It's risky enough as it is without adding night and any IFR restrictions.
Well done Spencer 17 big for the big milestone. Look forward to your 25th (thousandth)
Cheers FP

It takes 4000 hrs to get to the moon and back at 120kt, so you have been there and back 5 times and are currently halfway back from the moon on your 6th run.
Enjoy the view! Watch out for that space junk.
