Got my assignment for the Kaltag supply flights and figured it was time to take the Stationair and get on up there. While I was filing the flightplan, Captain Coogan came into OPS and asked if he could copilot with me for the weekend. Seems he hasn't been able to get much stick time but he can this weekend. I readily agreed. It's
nice to have some company on these long flights. Now that Snoboss has reduced the 206's load from 19 bags to 15 bags, I believe I can fit a copilot in nicely.
I forgot to mention the discussion around headquarters about the specs on our TCAA C206. Seems somebody had the weights all wrong. Took her into the maintenance hangar and had the boys bring it up to specs. While there, I also had them install a turbocharger. I bet that'll help the performance going back over the Alaska Range!
The trip to Kaltag was marked by it uneventfulness but again, having Captain Jack along we were able to catch up on all the goings on since we last flew together. JC 0.5
