Are those two your kids ?if so your a lucky guy

For me its often a love hate thing. Sometimes when its all going wrong or a hassle you wonder why you need it other times???
Its the challenge the adventure the buzz after a good flight.
Probably like you I am lucky in the flights I have done and the places I have seen as well as some of the expensive aircraft I have flown.
My favourite trips are the Ferry trips! No PAX amazing sights, different cultures different challenges.
Landing in the middle of Saudi Arabia and then being enveloped in a sand storm.
Landing at a tiny island 400 nm off the Nigerian coast with no one answering the radio.
Flying over Iran at night In an N reg aircraft.
Being escorted by three armed guards to the Loo in Pakistan
Seeing places and sights that no one else sees.
Controlling complex aircraft.
Man and the elements!
The list could go on!
Down sides plenty of those too but the worst five friends lost.
