Andovers

Post by adysmith »

Moved myself to EGVN (Brize niceone) today to fly an Andover (A780)

According to the Fleet Status I was the last to fly each and every Andover, yet THREE of them are NOT where I left them according to their own flight logs!

What's going on?

Could well be me that. If there's no CBFS service facility, I often move the aircraft to an airport where there is one (if its within 50 miles it's free to the VA) After the service it's my intention to move em back, but that obviously didn't happen in this case.

I just checked the status of our 780's.

XS603 - EGYC
XS644 - was at EGVN, flown to EGAA on 11/12/23
XS645 - EGVN
XS646 - EGQS, transferred on 10/12/23

So there should have been two at EGVN, were none of them there?

I moved two back to EGVN and one to EGQS (on 10th)

I then flew one to EGAA, where the weather was 800 metres visibility and cloud overcast at 200 feet, so right on the limit!
