What - from Pheggy's house?

BZ and I 'launched' an attack on the hill in a Dash 7 (after a engineering test flight) - went past (not over - past) just downhill from my house and kept descending across Boroko, at an altitude that doesn't bear quoting, as fast as Proud Mary would go.

"Ahh Chuck where does Al Craigie live?"

"Way the fck over there->"

"Good - call downwind will ya"

They couldn't see us from the Tower but when we 'popped up' over the old Talair 'Dreamworld' compound they just cleared us to land.

Of course then the lads figured it was carte blanche and for a while ANG Hill looked like a scene from 'The Dam Busters' - until Lekwe suggested to Bronte that it was time for the lads to cool it.

In the F28 an earlish right turn off 14R, at 0 dark thirty, clean up and accelerate to VMO would put you over the hill at a suitable altitude, at crackle power, and guaranteed EVERYONE was awake and stayed that way - well we were - ahhh the dulcet tones of a RR Spey at full noise
