Well, you would in fact be right

I'm most amazed at the fact you're getting wifi at 8500ft!T3G? What were you using?

This is classic
Reminds me of those magazine competitions where you send in a photo of the mag in some exotic location, this shot would be a winner for sure
Dunno how I missed this post- but that's uber cool Mr A185F!
I remember recently you made a post about a hard landing in Perth onboard a 767, so what were you up to flying a C400 around above 8000 feet? Ferry flight?
you're in the cockpit by yourself, taking photos of the cockpit, loading them onto your laptop, typing in urls and posting images etc... and flying? lol take that, women. you think you can multi task?
EDIT: emergency post number

Haha well I was ferrying that particular aircraft from Perth to Newman, then a few days later to Karratha from which I caugth a commercial flight to Brisbane (where the hard landing was) which was via perth, to get another compleatly different type of aircraft to ferry a much longer distance, 2 days flight, am inbetween the 2 now. I think I must get around alot. (has Metallica wherever I may roam in head now)
Good for the QF Freq points though

Ahh well you see that particular aircraft had a spot on autopilot which flys it much better than me, so I'm not gonna fight with it over who gets to fly the plane... It wins. I can have a quick use of my laptop, camera and enjoy the vast nothingness for 4 or 5 hours

yea, i spose that would have been slightly difficult without autopilot
