Re: Registration Fleets

The Dornier can carry 5 pax and 500 odd lbs of freight or 7 pax. It has a range of about 700nm and a ceiling 10k plus. All at a leisurely 100kts. It would be good if we were operating Equatorial or Australasian bush services but we are not. Perhaps there is an FSA operator that does do that sort of ...

Re: Registration Fleets

Good job Joe. I will do the Connie TR when I'm back, just two hops to go now Schipol then Heathrow. Though if I'm not mistaken I don't seem to see any TR's for them?

Re: Registration Fleets

I'm so glad you have asked that question. It has puzzled me too but I thought I was too much of a noob to dare ask :hide:

I was there earlier this year, so if you end up in the area it is really worth making the effort and finding a few hours to spend to go round it. Just thought it worth mentioning https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F...
