Dear Fellow 1Wers,

Sorry but I have been away in some strange 1W destinations for the last couple of months trying to do some aviation safety stuff to keep us all flying. These have included:

African hub with the holding position lights next to the runway missing

African end of spoke with the yellow lines painted in white and the white lines painted in yellow

A run on almost the last BA flight out of BOG with the beautiful Christina as the stewardess

A South American spoke with a business jet with a false overpainted registration (that aircraft had more dog hair over it by the time I had pointed that one out than was ever envisaged by the factory interior designers)

A South American AA destination with more black vultures than were healthy for the average person.

A home base of a 1W carrier where the runway vacated signs were so close to the runway, you had not vacated

An Asian spoke where the fire cover was not enough to let me get a flight out on 1W, but I did anyway then closed the airport behind me!

A flight to from Germany to Egypt that started off by heading North for half an hour.

An Egyptian check-in that would not take my e-ticket as proof of travel and it took a personal appearance by the Captain to get me on the flight (ah, having an airside pass is a wonderful thing)

A large European freight hub where the US Army helicopter was impounded for not being able to pay the fuel bill and stopped me from taxiing out as it was parked infront of my aircraft

A Ryanair hub that was full of birds

So I am back, with QF Plat renewed and looking forward to catching up with old friends here again.

Next world tour starts mid March.

YES I WILL UPDATE THE STICKY!
