How was that flight to Resolute Bay? Not much scenery I would guess. Always wanted to try it though. Glad to have you aboard with us at the NSA region and thanks for choosing Globe Cargo. Mark "

"Mark, The trip to Resolute was uneventful, except for a small INS problem that delayed my arrival <!--emo&:)-->[img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img]<!--endemo--> I was using the HGHB INS but now I've installed the CIVA. You're right, not much scenery up there but the weather was interesting. Landing in Resolute was fun, about 3 mi visibility with snow at night. I also discovered during my cruise that CYRB is a 6,400 ft GRAVEL runway. On my return, the charts said I had enough runway if I stayed under 600,000 lbs on takeoff, but the calculator said I needed over 7,000 ft. My TOW was right at 600,000 lbs and I had about 500 feet left when I rotated. Anyway, great first flight <!--emo&:)-->[img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img]<!--endemo--> "
