Another great video! I am a pilot and AME (Canadian version of an A&P) and have spent a lot of time in Goose Bay looking after a Caravan on floats. It is a beautiful part of the country and the folks at the Woodward's FBO are always welcoming. You never know what you might see on the ramp with all the aircraft stopping there either before or after crossing the Atlantic! Looking forward to part two.

Obviously without going to far into detail what was the purpose of the trip for the client? Business or travel? How sweat for them to have worked hard enough for them to just hop on their phenom or rent it either way and head privately to europe. Are the engines hard to start in the cold? Do they need preheated by an aux heater? Is there a cool down procedure on the engines after flying? What kinda egts? do you see?

Wow dude. Thanks for the video. May I add a few points? Do you say Boston USA or Boston Massachusetts. Goose Bay is in the province of Newfoundland. Goose Bay, Newfoundland and Labrador to be precise. And Newfoundlanders are wonderful people. And yes, they can be gregarious and a bit crazy as they enjoy a good time. But most importantly when so many Americans were stranded during 9/11 where did they send dozens of planes with passengers. Yep…Goose Bay and to this day they all say they were amazed that the folks in Goose Bay took all those strangers into their homes for many days. Alas, I am sure you are super busy and it is hard to be tuned into the local stories you might enjoy. Travel safe.
