Cool

I too have 1,000 hours many times over and still enjoy reading most posts. If you don't want to read a post then feel free to move onto a different thread. It is also a pet peeve of mine to not be called a "driver"---drivers drive buses, pilots fly period, just like maps are for roads and "charts" are for aviation, however I choose not to lecture people about it in open forums.

For pure pleasure reading and looking at the amazing photos, I recommend the book by Dick Smith. I have it at home, (a long way away right now), and cannot remember the title but it was when he first flew around the world solo. He took hundreds of pictures and produced a book. I will look next week at home and get the title for you unless someone else knows. If I remember, I had to order it from Australia.
