Simpson air crew house

Post by Nwtflier »

Alright ladies and gents, here I am at crew trailer and I am wondering if anyone would like to share any stories from their time in et4?(flying, day off activities etc...). Don't feel like you have to name drop, but I'm sure we would all appreciate a name or two in good taste. :wink:

Here's one that I also posted to the picture thread... I'm sure I could dig up more... but most are probably too much for the "internet"

It's still alive and well, there's been some recent handyman work done. 4 bedrooms and a bar, there's still the classic wood trim in the living room and the blue couch.

Poor TQB is sitting in the wolverine yard and hasn't moved in quite some time I'm told.

Why aren't they flying it? It's not even operating this summer off the river?

You see, the very same mould that is holding it together and preventing it from disintegrating is also, in a great stroke of luck, impervious to fire.

Many good times had there...and the Wolverine trailer...and the top of the tank farm...Martin River...curling club...The Inn...Harris Creek...The Sub/IBL...gun range...the beach...virtually everywhere I guess. Very fun place if you're there with the right people and smart enough to keep the shenanigans and work well separated.

Lets try and keep the pics to a minimum here...I remember one pilot jumping off the roof of the trailer on a mission to restock our dwindling beer supply, and then being forced to call for help in extracting himself from the deck he fell through.
