The view...

Flying around inside the old volcano crater at Long Island in PNG. looking up at the sheer cliffs rising from the lake all around and smelling the sulphur steam rising off the rock in the middle...

Watching the Whales and their calves at the base of the cliffs at Head of Bight...(careful - sounds like I am getting a cliff fixation)...

Looking down on a DC8 from the cockpit of a Sopwith Pup replica - now that is confusing...

Flying up Milford Sound with the (more) cliffs on either side, water below and a low cloud base above placing us in a square tunnel...

Flying down the Ski slopes at Thredbo... across the Simpson Desert...the Great Barrier Reef...The Lost City... The Bungle Bungles... Lord Howe Island...yes the Trobriands...over the fireworks at Lake Albert...any beach...

Hearing the crackle of a Mustang formating on my wingtip...

Popping out of the fog to see a balloon in front of us...(yikes)...

Skimming low amongst the cloud tops...

Landing at Mataranka for a swim in the hot springs...

In fact I love doing anything in an aeroplane, and still love coming home to my family too!
