Have had a few interesting flying jobs.

Skydive flying in Alaska and Las Vegas.

Low level magnetic survey in Libya. 450ft over the desert although ferrying out to the location each day was the really low stuff.

Mid altitude photographic survey in Finland, spent the summer moving every few weeks further north in Finland, got to see and spend time in places all over the country.

Photographic flights for the FCO in Afghanistan.

Night magnetic and gravitational survey in Algeria over a lot of the Sahara. Interesting but not much fun flying till 6am over the desert as may as well have been in a cave.

Glad I did it all but am pretty happy that its over, the next plane has a bed in it, something I longed for in Algeria.
