I often listen to aircraft on HF, but it still gets my attention when I find something unusual. Just heard Gander talking to aircraft N2472Z, which was reporting Ops Normal for himself and N2545S. The "Ops Normal", a term not often heard from a civilian aircraft, and the fact that he was reporting for another aircraft made me look them up on FlightAware. Both are Piper PA-28 Cherokee single piston aircraft flown by Wings of Eagles Aircraft Delivery, crossing the Atlantic from Gander NLFD to the Azores. That's a 13+ hour flight in that little airplane going 120 knots. Hope they brought dinner, lunch, water, and lots of fuel.
2304Z: There's 3 of them out there, add N2575N to the group.
