Day 10 March 6
Having twelve pilots was again an asset on this day. We flew approximately 9 hours from Texas all the way back to Steinbach, arriving at 21:30 local. We were happy to be home, but none of us would hesitate to do it all over again if given the chance. We flew a total of 214 hours between the four planes, flew into eighteen airports and covered a distance of about 3500 miles.
Much thanks goes to the mission agencies we visited for hosting us, to the FBO’s who allowed us to spend the night at their airport, and to all those American controllers who had to deal with the sudden onslaught of four completely foreign callsigns. Three calls per plane was probably the average before all the phonetics were sorted out. Even then “zero mike india” and “one one kilo” were common. Finally, a big thanks to Harv’s Air Service for having the confidence to let us embark on such a journey and allowing us to fly away with four of their planes for a week and a half. More pictures from our trip as well as details from previous trips can be found at their website www.harvsair.com.
