Never been on a Bou, and never had an air force related junket unless you count the 707 final flight.

That makes two of us, but to compensate I have been lucky enough to ride in a C-130E and H plus an RAAF contracted NSCA Bell 212 over the years.

Retirement of the mighty 'Bou will bring to an end the RAAF "Sound of Round" era. Turboprops just don't have the same appeal!

Speaking of "The Sound of Round" I know where I'd like to see one end up, it would be a great addition to an already impressive stable of radials.

There was a bou doing the rounds and Richmond today, not sure if it is around tomorrow. The crew of the US C-17 got a buzz watching it going around.

Back onto Australian Aviation, Ill be getting the lastest copies sent to me while overseas. Make sure the crew has something to read.

I was very interested in the reading of the Inflight Entertainment System onboard the V Australia aircraft.

Amazing technology at your fingertips and its capability.
