Cool

W84ME - sounds like you're having an awesome time!. .Many of my happiest hours have been bimbling about in Tiger Moths & most memorably, 2 years ago I took part in the NZ Millenium Vintage Air Rally - enormous fun & sheer bliss! We practically circumnavigated both N & S islands, often formating with other moths, buzzing along (deserted) beaches at ahem altitude, landing in farmer's fields having buzzed the deer etc off first. Totally awesome!. .Last year I was fortunate to be invited back to take part in a mini Moth safari which involved a 5 day scoot up the west coast of S island, thru the fiordlands & southern alps, camping under the wings, crossing thru Marlborough Sound & over Cook Strait in the most delightful conditions....and not forgetting the reverse thrust cocktails at the end of each exhilarating day. Woweee...wish I was back there! Also did aeros for the 1st time in a deH 82, something I'll never forget & sure proved addictive.. .. .Have also been lucky enough to get wheels up over the Connemara.....flying out from a friends farm strip which doubles up as a sheep field. Way to go!. .. .Hope you have as much fun as I've had. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="smile.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="smile.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="smile.gif" />
