Tobus[NL] 28 Posted April 8, 2019 Report Share Posted April 8, 2019 Ladies and Gentlemen, very glad to be back in what is my 4th MEBAR. As always me and some VA co-members are joining with some repainted aircraft. Last year we were an all Comanche bunch. This year we're spread out a bit on types, me in a P-51 like in my 1st and 2nd year. So without further wait, I give you my mount, painted by our VA housepainter Thorsten. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew Godden 927 Posted April 9, 2019 Report Share Posted April 9, 2019 Toby, Very nice, the high performance should help you negotiate some of the mountainous regions of Greece which are on the MEBAR route. Good to have you and the guys from Andras Meridian Airlines back again for another year. All the best and enjoy. Cheers Andrew Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thorsten42 3 Posted April 10, 2019 Report Share Posted April 10, 2019 (edited) Hi Mebar team and fellow pilots, following Toby, the second entry from Andras Meridian is joining. It's the second time for me and happy to join again. Many thx for your ongoing efforts to host this great event. Presenting the "sister" livery for my Mustang...

Andrew Godden 927 Posted April 11, 2019 Report Share Posted April 11, 2019 Thorsten, Welcome back to the MEBAR again and nice work on the repaints. Maybe real world commercial airlines should start incorporating more nose art and tail art on their aircraft. It adds great character. All the best and enjoy the MEBAR.

mutley 4,464 Posted April 13, 2019 Report Share Posted April 13, 2019 My favourite at the moment, the RealAir B60 Duke (Piston). I also happen to be flying a route from Iceland to South America in her, presently in the Caribbean 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew Godden 927 Posted April 13, 2019 Report Share Posted April 13, 2019 The MEBAR always presents multiple challenges for me. First, there is the planning, choosing a region in the world and then designing a suitably challenging route. However, what becomes more of a challenge is choosing what to fly from my hangar of some 75+ individual aircraft that are suitable for the event. This year, I still couldn't get it right because I changed my mind after sending in my Pilot Registration. When it gets down to it though, I am a big fan of radial engines, and the Beechcraft Model 18 Twin Beech is one of my favourite aircraft, so my entry combines the best of both. Cheers Andrew 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Andrew Godden 927 Posted April 13, 2019 Report Share Posted April 13, 2019 Nothing ho hum about that one, Ian. I'd say it's rather special with its Australian registration, VH-FCB, but then I could be accused of bias. Cheers Andrew Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NobbyNoMates 21 Posted April 19, 2019 Report Share Posted April 19, 2019 Many thanks for your kind words Mike. This lovely little aircraft has always served me well in various air rallies that I've entered over the years and always gets me back in one piece. I'm still a rubbish pilot though !

needles 1,007 Posted April 24, 2019 Report Share Posted April 24, 2019 As usual, I am a lot late for the party as I have been entertaining Wifey on her 60th Birthday Holiday. Needless to say I am back and raring to go. So here is my trusty bucket that is this years event aircraft for me. The Cessna 310 Redux. Cheers guys. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gazoeller 3 Posted April 25, 2019 Report Share Posted April 25, 2019 Dear all, I'm the third member of AMA - Andras Meridian Airline and after MEBAR 2018 for me it's the second time I'm participating in the MEBAR. Thanks again for all the organizational work that' s behind such an event! As Toby already mentioned, other than last year we are using various aircrafts for this year's event. While my sim fellows preferred a Mustang, with respect to the extended range of the legs I decided to select an Aero Commander 690B Turbo Commander. Thorsten, the performing artist of our small virtual airline provided me with some nice nose art for the Turbo Commander. Wish you happy landings Gernot 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tim_A 984 Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 Chugged around in the pleasantly pressurised (but under no pressure!) Cessna 340. No special paint job for it tho. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
