  • Moving into the guts of winter down here so crap weather for ballooning is more likely than not – good time to have a non-ballooning job :) #

  • Another cold morning in the Yarra Valley – -3 degrees – possibly colder than yesterday – could be another great flight (fog permitting :) #
  • first light starting to show over the hills, light mist low in the valley, sub-zero temps, clear skies, lots of stars – beautiful :) #
  • we just launched our balloon here in the yarra valley and saw one of the city balloons way in the distance as we crested a ridge #
  • all finished – another great day to fly a balloon in the yarra valley – looking a bit windy for tomorrow tho :( #

  • Crewing in Yarra Valley again tomorrow morning – chance of mist & fog – could be a wonderful flight :) #
  • in the valley where it’s been -4 degrees, some mist and patches of fog – we launched in the clear and they’ll be having a great flight :) #
  • ice covering some puddles, frost everywhere, sun low, mist & fog patches and a hot air balloon flying over the valley – beautiful! :) #
  • all done – another beautiful flight on a wonderful, cold yarra valley morning :) #

  • RyanAir now considering “stool” seating for some pax – and we though pay toilets were bad? http://tinyurl.com/klg5bo #
  • New slogan for RyanAir: Pushing the limits of passenger masochism #
  • Wonder how long until RyanAir introduce “Beg for your ticket” – free flight to the person most willing to degrade themselves to get onboard #
  • Just got back from flying an RC aircraft with my son in the park – I now have a stack of wings to repair :) #

  • Just posted a new entry in the 737 sim’s blog about the hot new scenery pack for Hong Kong (http://bit.ly/cYFdJ) #
  • Half the fun of that new post was hot dogging a 737 around Kowloon Bay to get the photos in the sim :) so much fun :) http://bit.ly/cYFdJ #
  • chatting with @stevevisscher and geting ready to record the OzDesk segment for @airplanegeeks #
  • Finished recording the Australia Desk segment with @stevevisscher for the next @airplanegeeks podcast – good luck editiing it, Steve :) #
  • I’m pretty tired after a full weekend so I think the blooper reel for this week could be longer than the actual news desk segment :) #
  • Anyhow, time for bed – up in 5 hours to go crew hot air balloons in the Yarra Valley :) #
  • launched the balloon over the yarra valley – few patches of drizzle about the place #
  • balloon is flying in the clear – the drizzle was where we were waiting – lucky us :) #
  • another great flight completed – pax & pilot enjoying breakfast while we get to go refill & clean up for tomorrow :) #
  • Just finished an awesome phone interview with Steve Clarke from Flight Experience HQ in NZ – great discussion about the history of their sim #
