Correction my friend ..PA 002 flight RTW was Jfk to Jfk eastbound!
PA 001 was JFK -LAX then RTW west!
All flights East were evens. Remember PA 103 Lockerbie was coming home for ‘Christmas, West.
Once when things were great, I flew 002 all the way round, 31 days!

While vacationing a year ago in beautiful western NL , the wife got sick near Deer Lake and wound up in the operating room down the Trans Canada at nearby Corner Brook. The folks at Deer Lake, the airport staff, and the professionals at the regional hospital were absolutely wonderful ! We had many Christmas experiences during those two difficult weeks...far away from home in Kentucky .
The notam system like EMR electronic medical records at your hospital is kindly delivered by and for trial attorneys ready to get the pilot and medical pro, alike. When you read Notams about heliports hundreds of miles away remember that!
I slept better at LORING AFB,ME knowing the Alert Crews were "ready" in their alert facility waiting for the Claxon!
The Gipper was at the helm and Gorby was making nice...the good old days!
When the smoke clears, there will be no government take over of the system....trump will see the light,and listen to reason. his 757 personal pilot will steer him clear! As they say in Germany ,Mach dich keine Sorgen! It is a mind game.
Having served in the USAF at Loring,ME (PQI) and being a Mooney driver myself , I was impressed by your Labrador to US travel video..professionalism at its finest and nicely produced...bravo!
