Title: DC3 C-FTGI
Post by: S61N on January 22, 2011, 12:06:22 PM

Just heard C-FTGI (http://www.airliners.net/photo/Basler-BT-67-Turbo-67/1494502/M/) on 127.5 returning to Galway - so it may be operating over here somewhere again.Might get to see it at one of the local airports if it ventures North.

During January and February a low-level airborne geophysical survey
              will be flown in parts of Counties Limerick, Tipperary and Clare.
              The survey is being carried out on behalf of Teck Ireland Limited to
              obtain more information on the geology of the region as part of ongoing
             mineral exploration programme.

It was indeed - it would have been nice to catch another glimpse of it though  ;)
