    both sound great, looking forward to it. the 2nd flight plans legs seem a little long for helicopters tho, are there any airports between each destination we could stop at?

            It's going to be nice to fly in another country. I really like Australia, and would love to learn more about the "land down under". Maybe you could serve as a guide while us American blokes tour with you.

                  I'll look forward to these flights, Oz. I'll be sure to be ready on the tarmac when you call the flights. I'll configure the msFLIGHTS.net FSX multiplayer server to host out of Melbourne and Hobart this coming week in anticipation of navigating down under.
                  Respects, Bob ...
