Every once in a while someone does something which might be described as being a little 'out-there'.
Ill-conceived, unnecessary, insane? Maybe.
And yet some of us, if we are honest, find an appeal which may be hard to justify. Perhaps it is a longing for freedom from the ever increasing strictures which seem to strangle our industry, or maybe a hankering for that spirit of adventure which hallmarked aviation's early pioneers, I don't know.
But, I will readily admit that when I saw this departure I thought to myself .. wow .. how thrilling would that have been!
Anyway, I thought this was a blast .. and I hope you will too!
