late morning or early afternoon is best guess at this point....will depend if they need to fly some flights to make up for cancellations as a result of current weather issues.

Thanks for the quick response. I'll watch here for updates.

Forecast looks good for Deer Valley all next week.

Pilot currency and topping off with fuel. Currently checking weather. If weather will allow heading to Tuscon then evaluate weather for the final run into Bullhead City. Keep fingers crossed


Tell the guys for me that they sure made some pretty landings in this wind! Thanks for the updates. :D

Looks like they made it safely to Tuscon about 2 hours ago.

Great to see the season starting for FiFi!

Fifi landing at KTUS Tucson this afternoon. Had to hurry to get shots and didn't have time to change shutter speed, so these were shot 1/1600. No the engines were not shut down during approach. :oops:

Chris
Due to a number of commitments in Bullhead and the weather delay, they will be spending the day in Bullhead City today and departing for Deer Valley tomorrow. This evening I will try to get an ETA for them.

"FIFI" is due into Midland in about 30 minutes. She will hang out there until Sunday morning when she will return to the DFW area. She will be staying at Fort Worth Meachum due to Addison runway improvements. The ETA on Sunday is approximately 1100. If you are planning on attending the NAS Fort Worth Airshow look for Ol' 927 to make a special appearance.

Closest we will get to New England with "FIFI" is Farmingdale, NY in late May.

"Ol' 927" will be headed up to HAG for much of June before heading to Canada for awhile.
