Hi Hairyplane,
Sounds like a great trip and a fine aircraft to do it in - I'm very jealous. Unfortunately I'm unlikely to get my hands on a plane like that for a while.
I recently finished the CPL/IR, so for the moment it's a quick hour here and there when I have the money, to keep the logbook slowly ticking over (and of course to enjoy the flying along the way) until that illusive first job comes my way. Fingers crossed it won't be too long, so I can then get some more "Robin-ing" done!!!!
Plus I'd love to try Aerobatics.... I've got to find a cheaper hobby!!!!
Cheers,
Billy M
