Pie in the Sky Dreams

There are things I really want to do in my life, for instance race a Porsche around a race track (done) buy a property (currently looking), go to Carnivale in Venice (not to unachievable) and then there a just a couple of things that I just feel will never be achieved.

Fly a Jet plane


Drive a Crane in Dubai



Some dreams will remain just that. Dreams...

you should start with a crane in sydney... from pyrmont looking to the city, it's just a field of cranes...

date an operator. Get him to take you up. Then let those steel girders fly!

You want to fly a Harrier jump jet??? They are very loud and make a lot of dust...plus they aren't very fast. Get behind the stick in a F/A 18 or sit in the Nav seat of a Pig (F-111) at low latitude (>500ft) wooosh!!!

Cibby, part of the appeal of Dubai is that it's not Sydney.

Scorps, a man that knows his jets. I like. Okay... I'll take the Pig (you twisted my arm) but there is a problem I have, I would also like a RAAF pilot to come with it ;-)

A Pig at low altitude, with the terrain following radar on - oh, mama! Woohoo, I feel the need for speed!!

Strains of the theme from Top Gun start running through my head, "Highway to the Danger Zone, I'll take you, Right into the Danger Zone"

Hmmmm... I'd definitely need the brown trousers to get up in one of those cranes. *shudder*

Hey why don't you try and get one of those flights in the Mig fighter?

20 minutes of jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeezus for $1800.

Then you can blog about it after!!!!

Nat, you better hope a pilot comes with it...It won't fly itself LOL

Cheaper than being a space tourist and probably more fun at least it's cheaper than something!

Hmmm... I could sell my car and do it! I love Voodka!
