Hi again VF,

You must have one of the best pilot jobs in the world, right on top of it in fact ! Can't think of many regions where you get your breath taken away by the view every single day.

Cheers,

NEO

I work in PNG and my breath gets taken away every single day as well but it has got nothing to do with the view.

Note the engine oil pressure @ 20,000' fuel burn is cool (slim) though

VF, are you leaving this job? The other site suggests you may be looking elsewhere. If so you're leaving behind some mighty shoes to fill. You'll also need to keep up the great photos...or at least tell the new guy or gal to do so

Cheers FP
