futuredivot 0 #1 October 3, 2008 Viking made the first test flight this week. The plane performed well. I heard that it took off in less than 1000 feet. This Otter has -34's and top of the line avionics. Should be a sweet bird.You are only as strong as the prey you devour Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

futuredivot 0 #16 October 3, 2008 Too many purdy lights. Actual conversation between a netjets pilot and a 182 pilot after the NJ guy blew in to the pattern trying to beat a storm. NJ "I'm sorry, I didn't get you on my fishfinder until I was 1/2 mile away" 182 "No problem, son. I was holding up and staying our of your way because I had you in my WINDSHIELD 5 miles out."You are only as strong as the prey you devour Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
