5 Flights to Make Before You Die

In no particular order:

Catalina
Bryce Canyon
Roche Harbor
South Lake Tahoe
Stehekin

Don

Niagara Falls

1. The Great Ocean Road and 12 Apostles National Park.
2. Outback Australia. - Broken Hill - Bridsville - Alice Springs - Ayers
Rock - Oodnadatta - Coober Pedy - Leigh Creek - Wilpena Pound.
3. South- West Tasmania
4. Sydney Harbour
5. Queenstown to Milford Sound.

I never got to do the outback tour, but I did the Sydney tour before
the Olympics...Depart from Bankstown and flew everywhere in the area
(except for the Sydney airport).

While friends did the boat tour of the harbo(u)r, I did too, but in
a C152...much better view!

Any word on whether those tours will be allowed again? I can't
remember the circumstances of their discontinuation, but it was
something to do with security, right?

not sure exactly what the new requirements are regarding foreign pilots
coming in to do these tours but I am more than happy to assist anyone who is
seriously interested ( if you promise me you are not a terrorist and are not
going to crash your Cesssna 150 into the Sydney Harbour Bridge - you might
scratch it!)

The bridge, of course.

Where would YOU choose to fly before you die?

One of my dream flight would be to cross the Atlantic on
my own... it has been done before and with the right aircraft
and equipment and preparation it is not such a crazy proposition
anymore. But that's on my list of things to do before I die.

And without the correct preparation, it could on the list of things to do
*as* you die.

I read [.doc files] with "rm". All you lose is the microsoft-specific
font selections, the macro viruses and the luser babblings.

After Niagara Falls, you should fly into Toronto City Center (CYTZ) - as
pretty as Meigs, and still here.

key out of my cold, lifeless hands.

Alaska.


Yeah, I'll second that. I'd love to have the experience of an
approach and landing into some mountain lake...

With floats, right? g

5. Alaska up the Alcan

I can't decide which would be more fun, flying the Alcan or riding it on
a motorcycle. I'd like to do both!

Find someone who you would trust flying your airplane, and that would want
to do the trip on a bike, or who would feel comfortable with you flying
their plane.

You ride one way, then switch places for the trip back.

Of course you would have to trust each other's riding skills, too. That
might be the harder part!
