hey asean.
cheers for the comments.. I am not that 500 pilot any more ... but remember it well..
I did some jump flying then and got the hours to get in the door elsewhere..had alot of fun in the process..
many years later I still do some now and then just for giggles..
when the operator tries to pay I just ask for beer instead...
guess thats not quite award either but hey.. its my life right...!
