| My birthday present. A half hour in a Tiger Moth doing loops and rolls. Great fun ! |

| Geez I wish someone would get me a birthday pressy like that. I'm still trying to persuade my wife to let me buy a ride in one of our Harvards. |

| Yep, outta sight. I've done the Texan and the Stearman and I know the rush. Next best thing to you know what!!! |

| I'm lobbying for a similar birthday gift this coming Autumn. A nearby museum has a nice Waco GXE. |

| Congrats, I did the same thing in Surfers Paradise its quite a rush :-) did you get the sideways landing approach so the pilot could line up the landing strip? |

| Reuben, I travelled over a 1000kms on my bike down to the dark depths of Mandeville to hitch this ride. And yes the landing was interesting and clearly reflected the fact the pilot couldn't see a thing over the nose. |

| Mandeville down near Gore? Thats a good ride, you should have dropped in for a coffee on the way. |

| Went down the West Coast (very wet) and up through the middle - very scenic, Dunedin next time ! |
