Returning to the real world

January 23rd, 2008

Sorry guys, the updates have been somewhat scarce over the past month due to me being on the road and flying a lot. Since Christmas alone, I’ve wracked up 53 hours on 19 flying days. Not a bad way the start the year but I have to work out a way to keep the site updated while I’m on the road - I’m working on it.

Over the next week or so I will get some posts happening about the past few weeks and what I have learnt while flying with the world’s best pilots on their annual pilgrimage down under. In the mean time though sit back and enjoy a few happy snaps of the fun times we’ve had over the past few weeks.

As usual, use the arrows on either side of the image below to scroll through the pics.
