MrH Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Hey JG, Another fabulous story & adventure. Keep them coming. You Savvy blokes have all the fun. I just wish Tatslotto would come my way then I'd be into it to. Cheers H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mad Dave Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 G'day JG, I saw your plane parked there, and intended to say g'day, but every time I went past you weren't around. Maybe next time! D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 JG I have always suspected that some bugger must be getting tail winds all the way when they travel ........ to make up for the headwinds that I always get each way. And now I know who is the benificiary of my extra fuel and slower trips. Nice report. Regards Geoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simonflyer Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 JG.. Im gonna have to ask you to stop writing stories like that cause i really dont have the cash to go do a trip myself at the moment, but i also really dont have the willpower to stop myself from flogging the credit card! Great reading by the way.Ive only done a small amount of "outback" flying so far, but i loved every minute.... :thumb_up: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

planedriver Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Wow! That was great report. I managed to get red dust up my nose just reading it. Sounds like there's quite a few potential traps out there if you don't do your homework. Thanks for posting it JG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JG3 Posted September 13, 2009 Author Share Posted September 13, 2009 Yeh, it's not easy to afford all this fun, but this sort of adventure flying is TOP life priority for me, and everything else must take second place. I drive a $600 car so that I can own a $50k aircraft. I'm semi-retired, live on my own really lean and basic in a corner of my workshop and rent out the house, so I can afford the freedom to fly away like this. Those trade-offs suit me just fine, so I'm making the best of it while I can.... JG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planedriver Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Good on you JG, at least you are following your dreams and making things happen that bring you happiness:thumb_up:. I admire that, and it has got me thinking about my own situation. Kind regards Planey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
