Guest Maj Millard Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 I'm spending this week sitting on my arxx at an aviation school in Brisbane. They say you can't teach old dogs new tricks ??....watch out !.. Flew down yesterday from Townsville in aVirgin Embraer 190, and I must say I was quite impressed with the smootness of that aircraft, which was my first ride in the type. Where I'm staying is within shooting distance of the Breakfast Creek Hotel, so I reckon either tomorrow (Tue) or Wednesday evening, I'll be ready for a frosty larger and a nice T-bone there . Any of you locals interested in joining me for a beer ?.............................................Maj... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
