Bucket Lists

[LeighP]

Very sorry to hear about your mother......lost mine to pancreatic cancer in 89....from diagnosis to the end...3 months. Best wishes to her for the strength to enjoy the time with her family.
.
my own list....hmmm,
1. Already flown aircraft, including old school twin radial powered C7A's at low level and dodging around cloud formations ...now that is a real buzz...thank you airforce for the opportunity! ......Tick!
2. Sailed good sized yachts in open waters...if you haven't done this, try it...its something special to stand at the helm of a 40 odd foot yacht, running down the swells with nothing but wind and wave moving you just the way men have been doing for a thousand years. Timeless! .......Tick!
3. Would love to break 200mph on the salt.....Bonneville would be nice, but Lake Gardiner here in Australia is bigger and has a yearly speed event - so thats one to do.
4. Finish my resto on the 71 Firebird.....well on the way towards that one.
Can't think of any more at the moment......two down, two to go.....
