Nice effort guys. Great work. I'm inspired to get one. Here's $50 to start you off. Good luck and great journey. Mark K
Hi guy's. For pilots I couldn't think of a better way then a great feat of aviation to raise money for a very worthwhile cause. I wish you both every sucess and look forward to monitoring your progress.
Hi Guys
Donation of $100.- from the olive man
Good luck and see you when you do your final landing in Milbrulong
Eddy and Andrew, I am excited already at the prospect of greeting you at Milbrulong! Apart from any other reason, I can not let Jos outdo me! Therefore I also pledge $100. As most of the Pico flyers know our son died of a brain tumour just 2 years ago so the work of the cancer council has my full support. Anybody in the flying community that has not been affected, believe me, sooner or later you or someone close to you will be. This would be a good time to make a donationto the cancer council.
Good Luck guys! Here is a a great and safe flying trip!

More than anything else the sensation is one of perfect peace mingled with an excitement that strains every nerve to the utmost, if you can conceive of such a combination.
