Kyle Communications Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 he isn't far from you dec I see on the map...maybe you should go up and give him a escort :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Communications Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 He certainly has some big testicles...I have been following his progress and reading the blogs...would be nice if he could have kept the regular updates but we all know how fickle bloody computers can be sometimes. He is a amazing chap and must have a personal drive that not a lot of other have thats for sure. Its an epic trip Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damoski Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Given that he's overflown every large body of water he can find, I'm not sure avoiding tiger country is on his agenda :-) I was going to drop by Bankstown this arvo, but guess he won't be there for then. Shame. I spoke to Airport Information, and they couldn't really think of where he might taxi to, other than suggesting I go to the 'terminal' at Airport Drive?

Ronin Posted August 22, 2011 Author Share Posted August 22, 2011 Yep looks like weather has him at Dubbo for a short while, poor bloke this last couple legs is gonna seem like forever, will be at his final leg some sort of camera going so hopefully will get something to pop on here when he gets to that Newcastle final..

winsor68 Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Reading his blog... it almost sounds like he flew most of the way from England at less than 1000 feet... at times down to 500 feet and pushing on.... He says he is scared of heights!! This guy has cannon balls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronin Posted August 23, 2011 Author Share Posted August 23, 2011 I think there is a lag of about 4 to 5 minutes so by the time a spot comes up he's 5mins further down the track.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronin Posted August 23, 2011 Author Share Posted August 23, 2011 I have been watching same as you guys, i wonder if he know as you say how many people are watching over him, I fly out of Maitland and if i get an idea that's where he is heading i am in a car with a camera, and only 10mins away from Wallsend so on my way there as well.....Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlyingVizsla Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 After reading his blog about Charleville I felt sorry I hadn't whistled up my flying mates, BOM friends, and friends of the RFDS who would have seen to his ailments without hesitation and gotten him accommodation, transport, fuel and hangar and full weather. Darn.... Look forward to some Forumite pics Not getting much work done here, either. Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
