The Air Tractor transit was a bit less interesting in that they made it with any additional adventure of whioch I'm sure they appreciated.....

Alcon,

Here is an interesting read regarding a lost aircraft over the Pacific in December of 1978. The first officer on the Air New Zealand aircraft was a friend I worked with as an expat in the 90's. The incident was later dramatized in the movie; "Mercy Mission: The Rescue of Flight 771" (1993) 

Cheers,
Doug Leamon
