Lovely to hear from you. Annie and I are sitting round the dining table, trying to get onto the Aerosport page to plan my journey down to Durbs... Was planning an early departure, but Moya wants to fly 'back-seat' with me, and we are trying to get goggles for him and figure where to put the extra fuel tank if he occupies the back seat etc., etc.,
Yesterday evening, Moya ferried the TUG from Aviators through to the little strip here at the Hydro where we are staying, and I let him do all the power and stick flying (feet don't reach the pedals, so I work pedals).... He is just so stoked about flying again, that he is adamant that he is in the back seat to Durbs... He is totally in-to the planning, asking questions relaing to fuel endurance, where can we safely land to fill up (even asking where we can stop to 'pee')
..Anyway, yeah, I reckon every bird man aviator needs to do at least one barn storming journey in their life-time....... The warmth with which you get greeted at all the places you land just has to be experienced...
cheers Ant, and don't forget how to fly while you drive that bus
