January 10, 200422 yr Flew this aircraft for first time today. Took off from KSEA and headed west through mountains to Pacific Ocean. Then followed roads north and east through mountains and along coast, landing at Port Angeles Fairchild airport. So far so good. Time to head back to KSEA. Take off felt a bit strange but figured was due to unfamiarity with aircraft. Climbed out, leveled off, and discovered couldn't excede IAS 170. Not good. Checked gear and flaps indicators, both OK. Only problem I could find was excessive fuel flow for IAS 170. Went to exterior view to check aircraft for damage. Was HORRIFIED at what I found! Off trailing edge of left wing was AMBULANCE!, flashing lights and all! Decided to continue to KSEA where would be long runway for gentle landing and slow bleed off of speed. Due to superior flying skills was able to land aircraft and ambulance without injuries or dammage. Be careful when taxiing this aircraft, apparently has very strong MAGNETIC FORCES around it. Now off to pub for some well deserved DRINKS.See yaDavid
