loltron 0 #1 February 28, 2009 It's been a while, and after a few false starts, it looks like we have ourselves a turbine to come and stay for a few months. That's right, 23 lovely turbine slots will be here in Hollister through the Spring, starting this weekend. See you guys up there! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LongWayToFall 0 #2 March 1, 2009 What is the cost on slots? The website says $20 but I think that may be dated.... Regardless, I'll see you guys sometime soon. Do you think you will only be able to fill the plane on weekends, and run the cessna during the week? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

loltron 0 #6 March 2, 2009 Yea, the site is a bit dated... We're going to be running $15 slots for load 1, wheels up at 8:30 this coming Sat & Sun , the 7th and 8th :D After that it's $25 out of the Otter to 15k and $20 out of the Cessna to 10k. We ran it last weekend and had a blast, such a beautiful plane! We're going to have a pretty busy weekend coming up, hope to see you all up there!

kelpdiver 2 #7 March 9, 2009 Does this mean no more King Airs in the bay area, with Byron on the Pac now as well? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LongWayToFall 0 #9 March 10, 2009 Monterrey has had their A200 King air for some time now, and Lodi recently got one as well. Fast as hell! Lodi is using a Beech 99 as well, gotta love a big door, and almost as fast. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sadly, I've been working so many weekends the past 2 quarters, I'm not making the rounds these days, getting way out of touch. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LongWayToFall 0 #11 March 17, 2009 I'll bump this thread for ya. Well, I totally screwed my shoulder up this weekend, so no jumping for 2 weeks. How frequently do you guys run the chopper??? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
