My flight instructor is currently in Africa doing this sort of thing right now...

However I hear he may be coming back a little sooner than expected... something about a 'massive' hydraulic failure... coupled with having no fuel to put in the aircraft!! :blink: :unsure: <_<

Planes are expensive - suggest you drop stuff somewhere else (like, maybe the plains)...... ;) (sorry, couldn't resist! :lol: )


BTW, looking forward to the post flight inspections of the bullet holes. :lol:
