I've decided to do a worldwide tour of the Aussie Outback in the Beechcraft Baron 58. I'll Start off in Perth and End up in Sydney if all goes well. The estimated time to complete will be 5-8 days.

You do realise how big Aussie is right?
But anyway good luck. Make sure you put in a lot of fuel.

P.S. that's is my real birthday but I wish to keep my real age secret to keep you all pondering.

In the ongoing battle between objects made of aluminum going hundreds of miles per hour and the ground going zero miles per hour, the ground has yet to lose.

Yea I've had a look at that. It takes a while to download though.

You really need VOZ "ZKTOM". It livens up those rather boring desert stretches with some custom landclass textures!
