The Joy of Flying


Coming back from Port Augusta this evening reminded me of the joy of flying in small planes. We had a Jetstream 32, flown by a young lady, a somewhat rare occurence. When you take off, you really feel like you are flying. An added touch was the second officer doling out the refreshments.

    Oh, la-di-da, Colin. Planes, eh? Yours truly had to take a car to Adelaide from there. And is it still as smelly as it was?

    Yes Port Augusta is still pretty basic and very dry. It gets up to 50 degrees in the summer. Land values have gone through the roof, with the influx of mining money from Roxby Downs and the other developments in South Australia. Normally we drive to Port Augusta, but I was just there for the day. Flying is relatively cheap when you factor in your driving time.

    Yes, flying in dinky planes is a real experience. I've only done it once from Graz to Vienna in a 12 seater and full view of the crew at the pointy end.

    Large helicopters are good too, but very noisy!

    Colin, where is still reasonable to buy property out there now? I presume Adelaide's now out of the question.

    I think it depends on your objectives. Don't look for too much capital appreciation within 200 kilometres. The Land Developer I was working with in Port Augusta was definitely working to get something out of what she had rather than to buy more in this market. She had bought over the last ten years and will make out like a bandit.

    It's genuinely very complicated in this busy life to listen news on Television, thus I only use world wide web for that purpose, and get the most recent news.

    I'm really loving the theme/design of your blog. Do you ever run into any web browser compatibility problems? A small number of my blog readers have complained about my blog not working correctly in Explorer but looks great in Firefox. Do you have any recommendations to help fix this problem?
