I wish it was a PPL - only a mere GFPT here.

Yeah, fly out of YSBK.

Mines a non-current PPL which I hope to change in the next couple of months.. I fly from Schofields Aero Club at YSBK.
So hopefully this year for amount of flying thread I'll be able to add 10 in a Warrior and 10 in an Arrow!

Just over 70 flights. Mostly MLB-SYD return flights on Qantas.

Should I be polite? Should I resist the urge? Nuh.......

Didn't know Qantas flew to Melbourne, Kennedy, United States. That is 9,384 miles from Sydney. I thought Kiwi Flyer did a lot of flying at ~364,550 miles. You must have flown well over 600,000 miles which sounds like a lot of time in the air.

Hmm orbited the earth every 24 days on average and distance earth to moon and half way back - yikes

At least this year will be less, but already flown more than intended due to flight cancellations and rerouting. So YTD 2006 equivalent of more than 1 orbit and on track to complete a second within the next week.
