Jimmy Hazelton!! Now there's a blast from the past, one of the industries true pioneers and nature's gentleman!

It's great to know Jim is still with us - I won't hazard a guess at his age!!

Jim would have forgotten more about long distance ferry flights than most pilots learn in a life time!!

A word of caution about long distance ferry, particularly trans Pacific:

It's not life's great adventure, undertaken wearing rose coloured glasses. It's a deadly serious and exhausting game for professionals who meticulously plan, are continually re-assessing the odds and who have a tried and proven plan B (and possibly plan C) when plan A goes pear shape and gravity takes command.
