    Congrats OFF. You are the first to Melbourne.

    Well Done

    Excellent flying Sir, and happy to see the "other" DC3 distinguish itself.

    (An aside; last night had a few moments to finally install Ted Wolfgang's amazing sound set into my Manfred Jahn DC3. I have a neighbor who has several Harley Davidson's, and regularly treats me to the sound of those "thumpers" starting up and taking ages to warm-up, so it seems. I think that he was somewhat confused last night by the sweet sounds emanating from my home. Yes Sir that's, the sweet sound of Pratt and Whitney R-1830 Twin Wasp radials - you have competition!)

    Well Done!

    Thanks to all of you for your kind words.
    I hope everyone has as much fun flying the course as I did.
    Some of you appear to be having much more of an adventure (in one form or another) during your "travels."
    Have fun.
    OFF

    Congrats on getting there first! Well done. 1st one there gets the "Bar-B" going. LOL. A lot of pilots have been living off of C rations for the past 2 weeks and would like a good steak.
