Tonight to CYFB

Tonight I am going to fly in the jumpseat of one of my companies Falcon 2000EX Easy aircraft - N308U. We will be flying to the Canadian arctic city of Frobisher Bay / Iqualuit to bring parts for an A380- serial number 9 - which is doing cold weather testing in CYFB with GP7200(Pratt and Whitney / GE) engines. I plan on taking some photos so I'll post them when I get a chance. Takeoff from KBDL is set for 21z. Temperature now in CYFB is -30 centigrade...

Got all the way to Kennebunk VOR and got a call on the satcom to turn around and come home. Such is the life in corporate aviation. I have every piece of clothing I own on and a digital camera to take close up pictures of the A380. The good news is that it isn't blowing oil out of an engine any more and it can resume cold weather testing....
