You got a nice dry tent to sleep in, your own airplane, and a view to die for. What more could you want? :mrgreen:

When I win the lottery...... :(

That plane looks like a good suggestion for a future repaint, too.


Cheers,

Two tents! Gotta give the other two people somewhere to sleep too. ;) (Look under the other wing...)

Agree on the livery. That would be a nice one to have. Not on my list at the moment, though.

I'd rather have the view, you can swoon over an airplane anytime. Ian, good eye with the second tent, I would've never seen it.

Does anyone else notice the subtle baby blue line separating the deep blue from the white? Also the leading edge of the vertical stabilizer is white as well.

Also notice the pilot neglected to install the pitot tube cover and control lock when securing the aircraft. AND no wheel chocks.

Well... he did bring extra stakes / rope to tie-down the plane. :P
