Gander?

Good luck with the interview/job Ken.

If there are heavy headwinds over the Atlantic, Gander will see a lot of stuff stopping for a top-up 🙂

Keep the excellent pictures coming lad

Well, actually I am hoping that I will get the job.
Onwards and upwards…as they say.
The Antillean way gets kinda tiring after a year or so….

The job here sounds a whole lot better than it is, but as my girlfriend says…”you are living every 11yr old boys dream….helicopters, beaches and computer games”…so I am definitely going to miss it.

I gather it was rarther busy on 9/11 as well ? God forbid that happens again.

Good luck with the interview Ken, although I bet your hoping you don’t get it ? 😮

I watched a documentary about Air Traffic Control a few weeks ago and correct me if I’m wrong, but for a lot of transatlantic traffic, this the first decent sized airport they will come across if they’re en-route from Europe, so its frequently used as a diversion if there are rowdy passengers on board.

There’s a chance I may be in Gander in a few weeks….all be it for about 15 mins. Excel have been routing some of there Cuba bound 762’s via Gander for fuelling when their 763’s have been out for maitainence.

Think one or two other European charters may still use it as a fuel stop….can anyone confirm this?

Good luck. Gander doesnt have that many scheduled flights does it?

A little bittersweet. That’s a huge change of scenery. We definitely enjoyed the SXM pics while they lasted. Best of luck Helican.
