Do Mini-Evac In A Hangar?
Two summers ago I went to Willow Run and met the crew (they just returned from Oscoda) , talked with Anthony and toured Baltia offices.
To be honest, I am not sure if hangar is large enough for N706BL. I saw a huge hangar that contained about a dozen smaller planes (including Ford Motor Co. corporate plane), but hangar was 3 sided (might be a door, not sure). I suspect at least one hangar could hold 706, because Kallita Air maintains a fleet of about a dozen planes at Willow Run.
Also, FAA might want BLTA to conduct Mini outside in the cold to simulate real world weather conditions. If it gets much below 20 degrees in Michigan, you do not wash your car, because the doors stick (freeze) and might not open.
Inaugural Route is NY to St. Petersburg, Russia. Michigan, New York and St. Petersburg all have similar winter weather. Cold and snow.
