redsnail - nice life stories... /me (wannabee) admires you when you write this down:
"The golden age of aviation is over. The most fun I had was flying a bugsmasher around the Kimberley. It was also the time I worked the hardest and got the least pay. The more money I earnt the less fun I had."
i'm completely convinced by these thoughts... money can't buy happiness as they say... after reading all these threads - i think i'll decide to leave the EU for a while and give in to the temptation looking my luck elsewhere.
