Ardmore Airport Coastguard plane
Posted July 11th, 2010 by ionavespa
Pogo2 (pilot) was on duty and that's him on RHS kindly co-ordinated to show the Magnetos riders the coastguard plane which he was on duty for that day - thanks so much for this, Mark. I heard that the riders really enjoyed and appreciated you showing them round.
(Note: I am just posting Ron's pics now, cos he is away for the day, so further comment on what happened is all up to you guys who were on the ride :))
that was brought way back when I was in the air patrol for the coast guard
love dropping the flower bombs for pratice hehehehehe
Learnt a lot while being shown around the plane very interesting way to spend a weekend as a volunteer.
Very professional speech, the only thing that could have made it better was a cowl up rummage in the engine bay. LoL
I think carb icing was the reason Ritchie walked over the Jog....

Stuart- known as J.W.C
this one (a Cessna 182) was brought in 2000. The previous one was brought in 1992 and was a Cessna 172. Both have the same colour scheme.
I paths then may have crossed as I have been flying for Coastguard since 1990. What year/s did you fly then.
