Two Mexican Navy Casa 212s were seen parked at BAL this evening - does anyone have details of how long they'll be in for?
I'd certainly like to get photos of them.

Did anyone on the site get photos of the Mexican Casas - hopefully you can share them with us all.
They departed out to Keflavik around 0915 this morning.

They are certainly the most exotic items that I have ever seen at BAL - and I've been keeping my eye on movements there for 30 years!!

Very smart, but the ones that visited Baldonnel were in a more muted grey colour scheme.  They had small winglets also.

I wonder if the CASA 212 would be a suitable (best?)  replacement for the Cessnas ?

A CASA 212 would be a massive improvement over the Cessnas, but would it be too big for the job?
D'oh!
