here comes 2010!!!

so there goes another Christmas.. first time in years we've not done any flights.. when we were busy flying people in and out of the Abel Tasman (and the lodge was going well) we often had to fly someone there on 25th Dec.. but NOT THIS YEAR!!! yipppeeee.. well sort of! mixed emotions there.

photo.. not Pitts Special wheel marks.. nice beach.. never anyone on it.. and a great runway.. about 30 minutes flight from here..

anywhooo.. had some crazy flights since Christmas with some excellent youtube video action as a result.. watch out for "Mandy" who is VERY vocal..., and we even had time to see "Avatar" in 3D.. cheapskate Nelson cinema made us pay $3 each for the glasses after selling us tickets to a 3D movie!!!!!.. BOOOOOOO!!!! big thumbs down to them :( great movie though.. wonder how long it will be before the helicopter type flying machines will not just be fictional!

and heres a great clip for the aviation minded people..
