Who have you flown? (Brag session)
Nunc est bibendum
Pierre, Dannii had undergone her 'enhancement' surgery about six months earlier and whilst a cutie, you can't go past Isabella for pure 'class'!
To be honest though, what I remember more is the really great trips flying with great blokes (and gals!). Now, if we had a 'who would you prefer to fly with' type thread then I reckon that would raise some interesting stories!

Thanks for the reminder Colonel Kurtz Sir!
He was also my Co-pilot on the morning of the 9th of March 1992 (7.50am to be precise) and were it not for him I would not be here today!
You only live twice. Once when
you're born. Once when
you've looked death in the face.

Peter and Bev Brock - flew them around for a couple of hours on a scenic then had lunch afterwards. They are both fantastic people.
Ben Dark (getaway) - he was a ordinary but his wife was really nice.

Picked up former Capt Mark Taylor (now Mr Fujitsu) from a remote NT resort and wanted to ride shotgun.
On the way back he told me how his group had just busted a unsuspecting couple having a r**t literally in the bushes. Very funny story with the girl running off wearing a leather jacket and holding a shotgun. Great bloke.
Can't say the same for Mick Doohan's helicopter pilot. The idiot landed (quite badly) about 30m from the Jet A1 bowser at Jabiru airport, then proceeded to unreel the hose. To his amazement the hose didn't reach. He then decided to blame the poor Kakair guys for this dilemma. They finally convinced him that the hose couldn't reach and that he would have to move the helicopter. Watching his hesitant efforts at getting closer to the bowser was just as funny.
And old Mick was just on his mobile the whole time.
Also had a friend fly the cast of 'High 5' to Kakadu. He went back to their private party later in Darwin where he met Daniel from Savage Garden. Told him that he had never heard of the band. Very funny.

I actually went to school with Mick Doohan and his brother Col.
At school they were just a couple of ordinary kids who liked bikes and would never amount to anything unless they did some study!

Carried the PM, Mrs Howard and Right Hon A. Downer plus press gallery a little while back, wasn't expecting to talk to them, thought they had disembarked, so when someone unexpectedly opened the cockpit door as I was finishing off the entries in the tech log I turned around and scowled at the unwanted intruder... the Prime Minister of Australia!
Other more amiable encounters included...
Dennis Lillee in a crowded C402, reminded him he 'cut my lunch' about six years earlier at the Norwood Hotel!
Daryl Somers (nice guy)
Ernie Dingo (likewise)
Russel Crowe
Christine Anu
Monty the morning weatherman (also nice guy, good thing he doesn't know I nearly killed him and his crew, that would have made the news, eh!)
