Agreed Stallie :ok:

Actually I was just thinking about his age...and his attention in class, he brought the average age in the room down by about 30 seconds :E

I know who was the main problem in the statistics there :}

Hope he does not read this :uhoh:

Definitely. All the best for you, Ryan.:ok:

Kiribati today and by Saturday morning 052245 he should be in hilo.

Go Ryan! :ok:

Anyone have the current link?
My Flight Aware seems to have fallen over...
Cheers:ok:

Keep in mind that in the Second World War some fuzz faced men of 18 and 19 matured so very rapidly after their experience of aerial combat or flying the big bombers at night over enemy territory.

VH-XXX'S comment about relative ease may well have been taken the wrong way here. It is none the less a valid comparison, not, as XXX pointed out, detracting one iota from recognition of the initiative needed tackling aspects of the dreaded practique in some countries when you fly in and fly out, other than by way of international carriers . (Speaking as one who has been there, done that.)


. .. . . well old friendly ghost, you can't have read too many then.


Thinks . . .. . . a book of selected posts. . . put together by a myope.

Titled MY OPTIC VIEWS. A LONG-SIGHTED PERSPECTIVE

Full of quaint obscurities, no doubt. (Which is not an invitation for any impertinent person to suggest one may have been inhaling. Or imbibing the mountain tay, or the mountain dew, thank yew!)

Flight Aware

Put a name to these folk!
 

One of these men holds the record for more hours in B747 and the youngest command of B747, and not likely to have either record broken.

One of these men is about to be the youngest to to fly around the world solo. And one is his dad (mum is easy to work out).

After landing 16R at Van Nuys, he has had a rest and off to Tuscon AZ. Well done Ryan. Long way to go!

Ryan is now in the UK.

The feedback I have had is he is doing a great job.

Are we there yet? :)

It's all downhill from here.

He is back in Oz! :D:D:D

Just a visit to the LAME, and off across the desert to home!

Watching Ryan's progress and his confidence grow over the last 12 months has been a privilege.

I think it is fair to say we are all very proud of your achievements Ryan. :ok:

Great to see a young bloke show so much initiative :ok: Well done young man :D

He is doing well and now close to success I hope lots can be in the Gong for his final landing. Unfortunately I will be in the Apenine Mountains locating Bert Hinklers crash site.

Good for you Ryan and congratulations on a great trip.:D

Nice to see Dick Smith giving you a vote of approval.

He was the boss when I got my DOA licence 430438 decades ago.

Hope you get the Gabby Kennard welcome.:ok:

Folks,
Regardless of who has dome what before, this is a splendid achievement, congratulations.
