Howdy folks!

This week we have some ground to catch up, so we need to cruise a little faster at 260kts. To assist us with this the CEO of Storm Avionics has agreed to allow us to use some of his fleet of Howard 500's!

Thank you to Storm for the assistance! This beautiful aircraft is available from Storm's OneDrive http://tinyurl.com/storms-onedrive

Please download and become familiar with this aircraft prior to the flight.

I look forward to seeing you all over Australia soon!

Thank you to everyone who got up early or stayed up late for this flight! It means a lot to see so many of my friends in these flights!

You're very welcome, Nova and we who customarily attend your group flight return the thanks to you for such an excellently lead and thoroughly planned weekly event. I sincerely hope you continue this bright spot that starts off my weekend very positively. This group flight, because of it's scheduled hour, does require a small bit of effort to be prepared for and on time for by us Pacific coast USA pilots but the setting of the alarm clock is amply rewarded by the company and experience there. I talked to Gimpy who considers himself an Australian Tour regular, is a Pacific USA time zone inhabitant with me and sends his regrets at missing this episode but intends to make it in the future.

Because of it's hour, your group flight has a much more international atmosphere than many of the other iconic (regularly scheduled) group flights popular around FLIGHTS.net. I get the opportunity to fly in a smaller more conversant group of my world wide friends than I do in the other iconic group flights I try to habitually attend. Additionally, I desire to endorse with my participation this group flight and I testify to your skilled flight leadership.

I highly recommend this group flight to all who choose to make it.
