I am just gearing up for buying my bomb dodging, engine exploding, flight to Australia in January 2011. The high cloudbases, long glides and BIG XC's above the relaxing open flatlands below of Manilla, Australia are calling me and my small team of pilots.
We are planning to arrive into Sydney around the 10th where I hope to give a talk to the pilots at a club night in Manley, which should be a fun evening.
After that, we are on the road, possibly stopping at a nice vineyard for lunch, to Manilla, , where we will stay and focus on cracking long XC's and use the reliable conditions to concentrate on personal skills and decision making for all of us. I have my new Delta which a can't wait to fly too. It will be good to return to Manilla because I havn't been there for several years, and that's the place we filmed Speed to fly, and I have fond memories of those times. Also Godfrey has done a great job with Mount Bora and the logistics etc, so it should all be a pleasant trip both in the air and on the long relaxing evenings. At least I will be able to catch up with work on the next film.
