The August Newsletter is now available at www.bluegrassairlines.com/monthly_news/2017/news_august_2017.htm An update of the hourly totals and the temp roster are to follow. This month we are covering BEA Scottish Services in '47, and two hops round the Highlands and Islands and a shorter route within the Northern Isles. As always the hops are a pick and choose at your leisure suggestion, but I had the second route planned out already so I added it in. These are available at: bluegrassairlines.com/feature_of_the_month/2017/feature_august_2017.htm www.bluegrassairlines.com/operations/hoplists/2017/hoplist_august_2017.htmwww.bluegrassairlines.com/operations/hoplists/2017/hoplist_august02_2017.htmCheers, Allan Edit: I should have mentioned that we will be uploading the information for our next event, a rally in Canada to be held in September, within the next couple of weeks. The usual rules will apply with the innovation that several of the legs will be between watery locations. So entries for two aircraft with/without floats and/or amphibians will be needed. We may allow DCA pilots who do not have the MAAM DC-3 with EDO floats to fly from the adjacent airports on these legs! Chaos may well reign but we're used to that by now.

The test flight files for the BCAR will be posted on the event webpage by the weekend. The event will set off from PITT MEADOWS AIR PARK CYPK and after ten legs end up at YELLOWKNIFE CYZF. We may visit Alaska along the way.
As a guide the instructions for a still air test flight are:
The timed test flights are to be carried out in the state of Washington U.S.A. The timing is to be recorded betwee two NDB locations commencing overhead the RENTON NDB 353.0 and finishing overhead the GRAYE (Ft Lewis) NDB216.0. Distance and heading is 26 NM @ 199 Degrees. PILOT INSTRUCTIONS ****************** Set your ADF to RENTON NDB----353.0 DEPART SEATTLE AIRPORT KSEA---LAND PLANES and AMPHIBIANS DEPART WILL ROGERS WILEY POST MEMORIAL SEAPLANE BASE W36----SEAPLANES AND FLYING BOATS Climb to 5000 FT then track to overhead RENTON NDB.

We are underway ,and the Test Route has a lot to look at while cruising along. Just a reminder that Allan has posted the timed flight instructions above this. I'm hope by editing more pilots will see it, and enter when the official page is released.
