Memories

As this is about memories, I have many, but 3 stand out.

1. Lifting off from a very wet Seattle, under a low grey undercast, breaking through the stratus at about 1000 ft agl into brilliant blue sunshine and there before us was, as far as the eye could see, the snow capped Rockies. Wonderful.

2. Descending down the slopes of the Himalaya into Kathmandu.

3. Flying the IGS into Kai Tak, Hong Kong. That sorted the men from the boys !

Now all I do is fly a puddle-jumper from Kemble to Shobdon! But that is better than pipe & slippers.
