Rupert Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 (edited) Having recently read Davidstraka's round the world leg into Goose Bay and the cold, I had to check it out. Bad call on my part it was 8*F when I landed in Goose Bay with lots of clouds. Thankfully only a few snow flurries. So just to get a better look at things, after stopping for lunch I continued on to CCZ2 Rigolet, which is on the coast. Here are a few shots of the trip starting with landing at Goose Bay. BTW: I just purchased the MILVIZ Turbo Otter. It comes with skis as well as floats. If I ever learn how to fly it, my next snow trip will probably be using the skis and avoid some airport landing fees. Right before I took this shot, my pitot tube froze over so I had to turn the heaters on. DUH! We've had several days in the 70*F range here in Kentucky. And frankly, I can't recall it got down to 7F this winter at all. So you tend to forget how cold it sometimes gets. BTW: Shot #8 labelled On Downwind obviously was downwind to Goose Bay not Rigolet. Sorry bout that :o Michael Edited March 11, 2020 by Rupert Being an old chopper guy I usually fly low and slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NMLW Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Your Mooney must like cold weather Michael. A good landing at Goose Bay and nice flight to Rigolet. The pics. are realistic to the point that I'm thinking of brewing up a hot toddy. :cool: :cool: :) By the way your Mooney just received the Peerhoven Academy of Flight's Chameleon award for changing its paint scheme in mid flight (#9). :D Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anytime Jan lands without his plane getting wet, he awards himself a citation!! I'm much more interested in landing dry, unless I'm flying a plane that is certified for water landings!! IMHO, :D Michael Yes, I admit, I've posted so many inflight pictures I sometimes don't remember which color of plane I was in at that moment!! Having said that, changing colors is a well established form of keeping inflight security against the enemy!! While serving in the USMC, I'd probably have won an award for creativity! Michael BTW: Thanks for the catch!! Edited March 11, 2020 by Rupert Being an old chopper guy I usually fly low and slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that, I just posted a string of shots from Tasmania. That's about as far away from the Arctic as 99% of us will ever get. ;) Michael Being an old chopper guy I usually fly low and slow.
