Looking good, Jimbo... ;)....!

Nice to see that there will be no confusion between the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean involved here... :-*...!

...LOL... [smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif]...!

Time to give my "Baron" a polish again... ::).... :P.... ;D...!


Paul...Beech Baron 58.... 8-)...!

You're going to fly 100 knots in your Baron, Paul? I'd like to see that. Cessna for me tonight. See you in Oztralia. I'll bring the beer, who will bring the BBQ?

Crash ;)

Tee-Hee... ;D...!

Hello Crash...;)...!

My Trusty Baron is amazingly economical just ticking over at a leisurely 100 knots... :-*...!
...a bit like the big twin motor in my Trusty Motor-Bike... 8-)...!

LOL... ;D...!

Paul... 8-)...!

It's a funny old do, but I find my Baron Twin much more "predictable" than my GA, single engined, light, piston prop aircraft, which often seem to have a mind of their own!.......she is a beauty, really... :-*...!

P.S. I'm bringing a bottle of nice Italian red wine to try out, together with a crusty buttered French Stick, and some Cheddar Cheese....(Just for me!).... ;)...!

Thank you Jimbo for the Lasses bit, my copilot says, she is a pretty girl sitting in the right seat of the Honda Jet.

lol, I was the Ford Tri- Motor in the back of the picture! And Clipper, remember to refuel if you do a lot of flyin b4 the real deal, lol! For those of you who weren't there, Clipper got really low on fuel about 3/4 of the way to the landing. I had a DL'ed refueling jet and tried to see if it would work. I don't know if it did or didn't, as we were not in refueling position long before my plane stalled (Hey try to in-flight refuel a prop using a huge jet!), but he made an emergency landing in the desert. An exciting time, it was.

Sincerely, was one of the most enjoyable MP's to date. Great company, Aussie scenery and a little drama thrown in. I had to max throttle to try to mid-air re-fuel, didn't work and unfortunately left me about 1/4 mile short of the destination runway. Valiant effort though jd. Lots of people to-day..thanks for organizing it Jimbo.  :)
