When arrived at the Airport this morning to turnround my A340 these two were parked next door.
Talking to one of the pilots he was ferrying them down to the Congo from Estonia! About 55 Flt hrs. Cruise speed 90 Kts, cruise Alt 4000Ft normally but had to climb at 100 fpm to 12000Ft in order to clear the Atlas mountains.

Seeing as they are off to the Congo they may well be crossing paths with Pegasus Aviation Viscount (3D-PFI), if she's still about! :sad:
