If you are looking for a ferry pilot or safety pilot for an Atlantic ferry flight, please contact me to discuss your mission. I will be glad to discuss the trip in more detail and provide references of previous Atlantic ferry flight customers.
Goose Bay airport (CYYR), or simply "Goose", is probably the most common departure / entry airport in Canada for North Atlantic ferry flights. The airport has 2 long runways, ILS approaches, and is available 24 hours. There are 2 FBOs where you can get weather, fuel (Jet and 100LL avgas) as well as a ride to a good hotel less than 10 minutes away from the airport.
I usually pick up my survival gear in "Goose" as well.
