We're fortunate that John Piowaty, a retired fighter pilot with Airscan, Inc., has agreed to give a presentation at the Lucaya Meeting and Fly-in. He'll talk to us about their fleet of over 12 Skymasters used for military surveillance and aerial animal surveys (bison, whales). They've put 550 engines in 3 of their birds (and other modifications), have performed 40-inch drop tests at 5120 lbs., and are getting 10-11 hours of endurance by operating lean-of-peak. All of this -- plus typical mission profiles and more -- will be covered.
You'll find the presentation in the updated meeting agenda. It's in blue so you can find it easily. I've also updated the attendee list.
