A few shots from Instagram: a peek at a plane we might be flying, our latest test pilot, and the office mascot
This has been a busy week for Nflightcam! The launch of our new Solo Hall of Fame program has been met with a lot of excitement, and we couldn't be happier about that. You can read what AOPA had to say in their article Ready for the Solo Hall of Fame? Also we wanted to remind you that there are other ways to keep up with us around the web. Be sure to follow us on Facebook and Twitter. We just might be posting special deals and insider information there. And this week we finally joined the masses and started using Instagram! This fun photo sharing app for iPhones and Androids is addicting, and a way for people to catch all the behind-the-scenes action from Nflightcam. Our user name is: Nflightcam.
It's a long story, really.
One of those a friend of a friend and all the pieces just fell into place kind of stories.
Short version: Patrick is ferrying a Cessna 182 to Kenya over the next few weeks. At the last minute, his friend Jake decided to jump in and join him on the first half of the trip.
Obviously, the 182 is a small airplane. This little baby can't quite manage a flight directly across the Atlantic Ocean. So they're hopping up through Canada, Greenland, Iceland, and then into Europe and then down to Africa.
Tired just thinking about it? Yeah, me too.
Matt, the guy in the far left in the picture above, did a TON of work on the 182 to get it ready. He was kinda glad to see it leave, I think!
Patrick and Jake flew together in college and talked a lot about flying some big adventure. It was a long time coming, but they're finally doing it.
And YES, they will be filming the trip with (multiple, I'm sure) Nflightcams.
What else did you expect?
Bye boys. Fly safe. Don't have too much fun without us.
