Mike is on his


Mike is on his way back to Quito. He spent the night with us last night. He got back from Makuma with Dave too late to get back up to Quito, and besides that, he had no plane to fly anyway. He could have taken the bus, but he spent the night and then worked today on HC-BQV to get it out of inspection. After doing the RTS (return to service) flight around 3 PM, he was off to Quito by 4:15. Hopefully he'll have good weather and won't have to turn around. That happened to him a couple weeks ago. I'm sure his wife and son will be happy to see him home. Besides the fact that he only had one change of clothing with him. The pilots always carry a toothbrush and change of clothes with them. Never know when bad weather will force an overnight somewhere.
