| On our arrival yesterday we saw yet another TBM on the ramp. It
was being ferried to the US by our good friend Marc Mossier. Marc was the lead pilot for the first TBM group
crossing of the North Atlantic in 2001. Here he is on the left with Paul at breakfast at the
Loftleidir Hotel in Reykjavik. |

| In spite of an outdoor temperature of +2 Centigrade, the wings were
covered with ice. We started out by pouring hot water on the wings, but it proved to be too slow
so a garden hose was used instead. I am pretty sure that when we first arrived at the airport,
the water on the wings was not frozen, but when we returned from breakfast, everything had frozen.
In the background is the TBM Marc was ferrying. |
