Ahh the joys of air travel in China....never a dull moment! :)

Current location: Chongqing
Next flight: In about 90 minutes :}

Now I'd best pop along to the gym and get warmed up....

So what's new? Pics of a well known UK independent with pax all pushing like hell on a medium weight turbo-prop made all the tabloids in the 70s I think it was.

While flying a Heron, (small 4 engine piston) I had a bunch of drunken Norfolk farmers who, having got the thing going backwards, found it such fun that they came close to totaling a new Learjet.

A small part of me hoped they would, the German pilot, sitting on his airstairs, had been laughing at my antique airplane.
