What I learnt from not going to Avalon

For those not in the know, ‘Avalon’ is the Australian International Airshow held at Avalon Airport just outside Melbourne. Most pilot locals fall into one of four categories when it comes to this airshow – 1. they fall into paroxysms of joyous excitement at the very thought of the show, 2. they think it’s kinda cool and decide they may as well go, 3. they go because it’s a good networking opportunity and they’re in the biz, 4. they’re a bit over it and wish the organisers would change things more from show to show.

So, today was test day. Surprisingly the weather complied, with blue skies and only light winds.

Bucket List

A “bucket list” is a list of things that you want to do before you ‘kick the bucket’. Now, while I have no intention of dying anytime soon, I am discovering that there’s a growing list of experiences in aviation that I want to have before I die. So, I figured I’d put them down here then cross them off as I complete them. Some are mundane, some are more off the wall, all of them will be an exciting experience to have.

As I stated in my previous post, I already have an external blog up and running. However I decided that I might feature some of my posts here on Downwind. The lesson-by-lesson posts are viewable HERE but certain posts will be reproduced here on Downwind. And what better place to start than my post for the Downwind simulator experience on 28th August 2009 :)
