Hi to All,
Well guys it's my last day in Brisbane and I am flying back to Wagga tomorrow morning.I have had a great holiday and was capped off nicely yesterday with my Dads 92nd birthday party. We had 77 of our friends and family present and my cousins band "The Elements" provided the music.I got to sing a few songs as well!! The wine flowed freely and we are all feeling a bit doughy today I can tell you.......(Glad I am not flying today!! )
My wife Di tells me that all is OK now with my computer, I will be glad to be back on my own machine once again and to catch up what has been happening at OutdoorKing.

Darryl,

Glad to here that your holiday was a good one especially with all the family being there to celebrate your Dad's birthday.

I hope that you got some pictures of the band playing even a video would be great to see.

I and the members are looking forward to you returning to the forum when you get back. You will find a lot of stuff has been going on while you were on your holiday.

to your Dad for his 92 birthday.

Thanks Bruce, I'm finally home, will post tomorrow, had a very hairy trip!!

Welcome back Darryl!

Welcome back Darryl and I will be looking forward to seeing you posting again.

Thanks guys for the welcome home , I really appreciate it;
I flew into Wagga yesterday with a mini- cyclone over the airstrip.....we were on finals into Wagga Wagga when a freak storm (lighting, hail and 100Km/Hr+ winds) were blowing down the runway: (it flipped a Cessna 182 (lighty) on to it's back;) took down established 50 year old trees, and (Bruce, you will hate this; for once I was glad I was flying Qantas), the Captain was an old hand at the Dash 8, we figure eighted for 30 minutes, till the storm passed and then then he greased it on; (right on the piano keys)immediate reverse thrust, and we turned off the last taxi way, shaken, but all in one piece.....Gee I'm glad to post this......Very scary!!
Glad to be back; will post again tomorrow,

Hi Chris, yeah, mate, the pilot of that aircraft deserves a medal for deadsticking (no engines) that plane onto water with no loss of life!!
