Glad to hear you've made it across the Med safely. Well done!
ReplyDeleteGreat job Norm!! You do everyone in aviation proud.
ReplyDeleteNorman was guest of honour tonight at the Alexandria Aero Club. This followed his first encounter with Egyptian beauracracy...a 2 hour customs clearance!
ReplyDeleteBut a fantastic effort by Norman to cover the distance he flew over water today and to be smiling after Egyptian customs. Well done Norm!!
Egypt - Blimey ...!
ReplyDeleteNorman, have you eaten the Freddos yet ?
Should we send more ...?
All the Best,
Mike & Trish x
Wonderful job Norman...we're following you daily here from near Vancouver, B.C. I applaud your nerve and determination!
ReplyDeleteHad to keep checking the track today until I was sure you had made it - got in trouble sneaking out of Easter lunch to the computer!
ReplyDeleteMiss you flying over Islandmagee Norman. Well done so far and best luck for the rest!I`m keeping Willy Mac informed of your progress who in turn is keeping the "Old Fogies" informed at the E.A.B.C. coffee mornings.
