A couple of days ago, on an indirect flight to Iraq, we took a C-17 into Prestwick Scotland to drop off some stuff. I saw the Air Atlantique Twin Pioneer sitting across the ramp from us. While waiting for our clearance to fly to Germany, I ran over to look at it. The only one I'd seen previously was the one at Baghdad. Anyhow, I got to visiting with the crew and they were good enough to take me for a ride in it. I gather that it is the only one flying so it was a rare treat.
We got back on the ground with just enough time for me to make it back to the plane for engine start. Needless to say, my pilot wasn't happy that I'd been tooling around the Scottish countryside in an old plane. I didn't care and still don't! It was probably a once in a lifetime chance and I'm thankful to the Twin Pin crew for the opportunity!
