Thanks for telling the story Mark. Where did you stay in Iqualuit? How did you pump fuel from the drum?

Hi Vlad,
The FBO fixed me up at the Discovery Lodge hotel at the crew rate.It's very close to the airport and has a very nice (but not cheap) restaurant.
The fuel set up is very easy. They have an electric pump and a regular nozzle on a fairly long hose.

Pierre Info
Hello Pierre
I see you live in GA, and I thought you maybe able to tell me anything about Milledgeville GA. There is a Airpark there I'm looking at to buy into called Deerfield Landings. Things I would like to know is there any thing to do in Milledgeville, like Publix, restaurants, things you need to survive and still have a lifestyle after living in Ft Lauderdale Fl.
Any advice or knowledge would be great.
Thanks

Great adventure
Nice trip write up Mark. Makes me ponder just how much of a
sheltered (flying) life I lead. Thanks for making me think. Ironically, the P-38 "Glacier Girl" was at Chino this past weekend.

Milledgeville is a college town with lots and lots of activity and a big lake bordering the edge of town with many boat launching ramps...fishing, water skiing and so on.
It's about an hour's drive west of me and my daughter-in-law to be, graduates from college there next year.
Half way there, is Sandersville, where my buddy, Ray Lawrence, has his RV builders-assist facility and my two stepsons work there, building RV's and working towards their A&P licenses.
Right now, there are two RV-7A's, a -10 nearing completion, A Glassair and an RV-3 fastback under construction, with the canopy and fiberglass skirts just fitted,
Best,

Time is ticking on Mark's 21-day import window to fly before he is forced to re-register onto the UK system. We did manage to beat some unseasonal British weather yesterday and shoot some pictures though.

We do use bigger tractors than this to farm, honest...

Excellent photos Ed. Mark's obviously put a bit of elbow grease into his airplane polishing since he arrived back home.
I first saw that tractor on your other thread. Made me smile. Gave the impression that Mark had flown 50 years back in time 
Also like the picture Mark posted of the two RV-8's lining up on the yellow flower meadow runway.
