I know this is far from our shores, but have a look at some good 4bying territory at silvairehair2.home.comcast.net/072806/ great scenery and some flight history too

Thanks, a lot of memories in those photos. Oh for a lottery win and being twenty years younger!

Thanks for that John - I really lost myself in the story for a while there!

Awesome - Thanks John! Always wanted to learn to fly but I reckon it'll be one of those things that I'll never get around to doing!

Cheers
Scoey!

Hi John,

Thanks for bringing back memories. I'm an Aeronautical engineer by training but not much work for those skills in Perth so now play with engines for a living. A few years ago I lived in Fondulac, WI (which is next to Oshkosh) as we took the first MM Optimax outboards to production. Spent time at Oshkosh - a great place and the annual fly-in is something else. Pretty awesome in the middle of winter too, with guys fitting skis to their planes to go have fun.

Regards,
Hugh
