Right, serious answers no one wants to give it seems, although nothing exciting at the moment PA38-112/PA28 and soon hopefully C152/C206/BE76 and maybe a fun flip in a CITABRIA we'll have to see what the budget can do!

For the serious - a GLEX based in Stansted. About to check out of the hotel in Bangalore - off to Mumbai. Had some great curry!

Had my SA rugby 7's shirt on yesterday and of cause bumped into a whole crowd of saffers!

Up all the C208 drivers! That's my favorite little beast. Also the PC12, nice aircraft if you don't mind her handling, and then some King Air. Playing with Cherokees and little cessna's too, whenever I get a chance. Did some Jabiru's too, but almost got scared of heights then...
