Rob Leach reported from Honolulu. All set to depart tomorrow morning for Christmas Island. Here’s what he had to say:
The http://www.sr20.org/pix/#hawaiitwo girls from Air Service Hawaii FBO are Wendi Lishman and Mo Fagan. They were happy to assist with the preparations for departure to Christmas Island.
The mechanics at Air Service Hawaii completed a compression check and all were 75/80 so the engine problems seem to be resolved with the new engine. No 2 Alternator problem has been fixed also. I have the oil analysis kit with the soap sample.
Flight time to Christmas should be around 8 hrs and 15 mins. I will take some photos at Christmas and Pago Pago to complete the history of the delivery flight.
