After a delay down at LaGuardia, the Merc Air Stratoliner just landed at CYUL Montreal. We're going to just overnite here and take off tomorrow to head back to KLGA starting the event.
Besides, we got to round up a couple dozen passengers

Merc Air One is departing Montreal heading to LaGuardia on a night flight with full luxury service. See yall there!
Enroute to NYC at cruising alt 14,500 on the MAPE server.
Did I mention that I haven't made a night time landing in months?
Had a malfunction in the cabin pressurization. Dropped down to 10500ft.
Wonder what these four switches marked Blower High/Low mean?
Arrived at LaGuardia in one piece and kept it on the runway no thanks to a pair of one candlepower landing lights.

What happens on the Strat stays on the Strat. All part of the Merc Air luxury service.
I've been stuck at LaGuardia waiting on some cabin pressurization compressor parts which finally showed up this evening. Should be taking off for DC here in a bit.
Picture of Willy (and stewardess) preflighting the 307...
Well, at least he's got my hat on. :d

Good stuff Willy. A few of us were sitting around the bar and wondering whether a couple of SAR missions might be required. There are still a few MIA (or stuck on tropical islands)

What can I say, "bidness" is good in Belem, but due to r/l t-storms, tonite is going to be a no fly nite again.
Prepping for takeoff, SBBE to SBSL.
This just in from the Kellet Weather Reporter (Think 1940's Movietone news announcer voice)...
"SBSL experiencing a bright sunny day with mild tropical breezes. Light clouds and a current temp of 85F. A wonderous time will be had by all in the utter comfort of the fantastic Boeing 307- the cat's meow of the luxury liners"
Leveled out at 13,500 and on course for SBSL.
Payload: 7525#
TOW: 42xxx#
Thanks for the Wx update KWR!
