The boys are logging some more hours, just flew south with the Nitesun on. Bit windy this way, not the best night for flying.

Guys just to let you know,

That Polair 61 is an "All-Weather" capability helicopter.... She's flown in very trecherous conditions before, with Rain-some storms, Wind - Pilots on board have the highest hours on IFR (Instrument Flight Rules) - which helps them get around at night by using their onboard systems etc...

Was going for my rotary but lost time and funds to continue so will get back into it once i get to Broome. did a fair bit of time in the left seat and the back of Polair 61. Lots of fun, just not enough hours.

Come up and fly Dash 8's with Customs with me, they're looking for pilots!

I'll be in the back of one of those from mid Dec. this year.
