Well done Mark, it looks like you are doing what AirSource is all about - having fun!
Re: Africa is calling - AS 2 Tom Little - 04-25-2018
Incredible and inspiring!

Absolutely amazing. That beats my trip around the rock they call Australia. I flew from home base VHHH and flew the clock wise route around AUS. and back to VHHH.
Well done. I am truly blown away.

Thank you so much for the comment, Thumper, really appreciated!
Actually my journey in GA division started with nothing smaller than flight around the world

Currently planning for "Europe Skies" event, where I would like to visit all European capital cities. The only struggle I have is definition of Europe as a continent vs political map - but I will sort it out soon for sure
