You guys don't know what you're missing out on. Airline type flying is the most boring flying I have ever done. I often sit up in cruise with the other guy nattering away on some technicality of EBA interpretation wishing I was back dawdling around the Wide Bay area in a mighty Islander
So true! Last time I was in Wide Bay area I was on board a Caribou conducting LAPES drops in fire breaks with our wingtips below the tree-tops on either side. I genuinely feel sorry for the kiddies who feel that airline flying is the ultimate in aviation; they haven't lived. Better than an office job... yeah, with equivilent pay.
