    Awesome shots there Barney! Have been meaning to get down there with the camera for some time now. Is flying guaranteed daily or if not, how do you find out?

    I'm starting to understand the previous "joke".

    Was this a PPL type civilian instructor or someone more credible?

    Ahh, a fighter pilot then.

    You know what they say:

    'Fighter pilots make movies
    Bomber pilots make history'.

    Mainly watching, but about five years of staging. I still go way with my driver occasionally and he says things like " Remember this place? This is where we ended up backwards on the Bow & Arrow" I haven't got a clue as I was glued to the map the whole time, I couldn't recognise anywhere by how they looked.
