As the place gets locked at night, it's a shame that there is no toilet or at least signage indicating where the nearest toilet i...

It's a Piaggio we have leased while RIO is getting it's engines overhauled in the states. (8-10 weeks)

She sure is a sweet looking plane.

VH-OWG has arrived in Phuket, where the ferry pilots are having a few days of sleep and shopping.
All going well so far, with mild headwinds and few thunderstorms.

Manual only, really used to jerk changing gears going up Malcom St. Used to be fascinated by the Driver opening the c...

VH-RIO at Jandakot for the next few days (mid Feb 2010)

Hi all.

For the spotters out there, RIO will be doing it's night landings at Jandakot while Perth has it's runways painted black.
There may be day movements as well depending on tasking.

Cheers
