planemad I had a great game at Saigon when having landed on 25R and rolled all the way to the end...cause all the taxiways were GUR...we'd pick up the follow me car for the long taxi back between the old (vietnam war era) hardened shelters...spool up a little (Bizjet) and the man in the little car with the flashing lights goes faster...spool up a little more and he goes faster again...when you've got him going really fast, 60kts being my personal best, select idle reverse and watch him disappear into the distance before realisation dawns and his brakes lights come on...and then start the game all over.
Was recently over Suadi in a 767 chatting to another Aussie in a mid east based 767 who was leaving to come work for the Asian based mob I work for...he made some comment about being closer to home and it not being about "the grass being greener"...I looked out the window and just couldn't help myself..."Well at least we got grass!"
