My favourite thing to ask for at Christmas is a few more gift ideas for my wife and kids. I have a wonderful family, and can fly whenever I want, what more could I ask for?

Flying stuff tends to be way too costly for me to consider making it a gift suggestion.

Maybe not very imaginative but the 2008 Pooleys would be pretty useful. If any generous person happens to be reading this.

Dear Santa,

A new Aeroplane(Edge, Pitts, Tiger moth, Cirrus, PA28 - Delete unaffordable)

A made to measure flying suit

A helmet

Lovely new white gloves (why do we wear them - it keeps your hands dry- and allows gound crew to see your signals)

A new headset.

All those computer, ruler , booky things for my ppl.

An auto land button.

Good weather on saturdays.

A silk scarf ( really comfortable for windy cockpits)

Nice sunglasses (for all days)

Flying goggles (for that tiger moth experience)

A trip in a Tiger moth
An aerobatics trip
A Hunter trip
A lightning trip.

Anything from www.flyboys.com

Christmas is so great

Dear Santa,

This year, if you could arrange an end to: world poverty, ethnic strife, religious conflict, climate..er...stuff, political corruption and that worthless tw@t from BabyShambles and his bird...that would be lovely.

Best Regards,

Ed.

PS...if you manage to sort that lot, then you could probably manage a Sukhoi 26 and 30 thousand litres of Avgas for me. But you won't, I know...you tight Finnish git. Just like last year.

Oh and Santa - please can you point me in the direction of a company that would like to use my two-ship aerobatic formation display team as a marketting/advertising platform!

We have six firm large airshow bookings for 08 and are in discussions for a further six...

If you can do that, I'll leave a whole bottle of single malt on the fireplace!

All I ask is that I never have to set eyes on the British precision pilots association in the future.

I won't lower myself to a blow by blow account but the actions of this lot (and a 172 driver in particular) cost my company a lot of money and almost put us out of business.

In the past when my wife was asked by our children what she wanted for Christmas she would answer "a good boy/girl". This year when she asked me I said "a naughty girl". "Can I get one on ebay" was her reply. Where should she look?

Cool

A CO detector from Sporty's..not the silly sponge thing that doesn't work.

A month of CAVOk when I am off work.

Avgas in US gallons.. $4.00 a gallon

A CAA that listen to our problems

A wind that points into our runway

That's all
