An unexpected arrival!

Postby salem » Tue Dec 19, 2006 7:14 am

Little did I realize on Friday at 16h30 when I left work, that four hours later I would be a grandfather :shock: Although ETA was 20th January, due to technical problems, her royal softness (all 1.88kg of her) made an unscheduled forced landing at 20h34 on Friday night.
However, due to excellent re-fuelling systems, both mother and daughter are expected back home today. Needless to say that all concerned are in unanimous agreement that her royal softness is the cutest little baby in the universe :lol:

"Hey, Vat so Katvis"................ Ok i just hope that you, as "oupa" :lol: :lol: :lol: will teach the new arrival the finer points of flying, so she could also enjoy it, and maybe one day, call herself "pilot"

Congratulations (^^)

Congrats Dark Helmet, may she bring you lots of joy Oom.

Tried to contact you when you were doing touch and goes at Wintervogel in your new aerie, but no luck.

Always coffee available.

Regards,

Rusty.
