We are definitely going, we have a slot at Vagar booked.
The question in the air at the moment is whether we are being offered accommodation in the Faeroes in exchange for a seat in the aircraft.
I will prompt Son 1 to find out more about this.
I think that we will still have a spare seat or two. But we need to know about accommodation even before we think about the spare seats, because...well, Ice, you know why

Sounds like you've changed plans here, Timothy. How have you gained approval to operate at Vagar? Am I too late?
If Timothy had his way, you would know me as Daniel.
Having spoken to Timothy recently (who I think now has a full ship), I too have requested permission to fly to and operate from Vagar during the eclipse. I will be taking either a Seneca or a TB20, probably the former. If I get permission, I will have spare seats available, and we will then have to sort out accommodation. Having visited the islands before with Gareth Davies and Janie (in a PA28), they are quite spectacular in their own right.

You are still dangerous! You can be my wingman anytime.
I have received provisional approval for the flight from Jákup. I now need to firm up on dates in order to get full approval so will consult with Timothy again as we had discussed the possibility of going in formation.
