Here's just a teaser shot of more to come. I was very lucky to be given access onboard of the nuclear USS Ronald Reagan aircraft carrier today as she arrived in Brisbane.

I will post the rest later when I manage to process them all.

cheers

Nice photo there Mark

Maybe Birdie can upgrade his Cessna lust to one of those?

Flying it would be the least of his worries I expect. More a problem getting Mrs. Birdie to OK it and the slight difference in cost!

Cheers

Mark,
Hijack it and take off! you've got your clearance! :lol:

Bago100,
Yes, Mrs Birddog is not happy for me with flying anymore, but she has just approved for a new Stabi-craft 609HT. She said: on the water is more safely than. :roll:

We visited the boatyard with LostDingo and inspected the new toys yesterday
