I'm not sure if I'll be able to make it, but I'm definitely going to try. :)

Hey, I LOVE Molson XXX! I think it's 8.5% and you can get it here in the states. I do know that you CAN'T get Molson Brador here! So, if you buy, I'll fly! ...Ummmm, maybe a little pun intended... :)

Here's the list of characters .... errr ... pilots: Jeff Jett (AAV68), Rob Finally on TS Shepherd (AAV314), Rick Stevens (AAV409), Bert Rivera (AAV476), Ted Martin (AAV537), me (AAV580), Wayne Pierce (AAV783), Steve Still Grinnin' Sondheimer (AAV825), Jim Paris (AAV1050), and Murray Wheten (AAV1079).

Of course, with this number of pilots at one airport, it was hard to keep our presence at even such a remote area as Halifax a secret, so we attracted some ATC. Everyone learned a few diffs in Canadian and US ATC comms on takeoff.

Some were flying Jetstreams, some, ATR72s, and some, SAAB 340Bs - but, since I don't have a SAAB AI model, they will show up as Jetstreams.

Here are 2 Jetstreams at the gates.

I had a flashing graphic anomaly in the VC all the way from takeoff. Half expected the system to shutdown, but it didn't. Also, pretty sure I do NOT have epilepsy.
