Hi Barry & all,
Last night as we were fueling 527P (Adam's 520 on its way across the
country as I write this message) I spotted N66GW, a 690A (according to
FAA s/n 11174).
It was about 9:34 pm local time, -4 deg. C. right in front of the FBO
of KPHN where N527P was based. Sorry for the poor quality of the
picture, my good camera died on me in Panama and I haven't purchased
another one yet (wish I had), terrible pictures with or without flash
at that distance/light.
I took a photo of the plate but can't read a damn thing on it (the
pilot/owner? was not particularly chatty and was pretty weary of me
taking photos and checking the plane...)
I picked up JimBob yesterday from DTW, got stuck on traffic for an
hour to go through Detroit (more on that later guys&gals!) and went on
to prep the old bird for the ferry to its new home on the west coast.
This morning 527P fired up and took off about 7:20 local time, took
off and turned around back on the pattern and did a classic JB low
pass while the ex owner and I were in tears... (needles to say, the
next photo came out blurry...) and the damn camera's battery froze -
literally!
Headwinds up to 45 kts, LLWS between Iowa and Nebraska are waiting for
them; and to top it all pretty bad weather is building up on the other
side of the Sierras... Another day for a flying Commander!
I just talked to Jim and they landed on their first leg, she is
cruising along at 155 kts and burning roughly 24 gals/hour (filled up
80 gls after 3.3 hrs up).
Looks like we'll hear more on her in the future.
Speaking of, I'll post a video on 527P taking off this morning on
youtube when I get to it... she is LOUD!

Peter

Hi Peter,
Thanks for the up-date re N527P and the pictures.
Sounds as though our weather is better than yours . . . for a change.
Best Regards,
Barry
