World Tour
« on: April 24, 2012, 10:41:11 am »
I have (The pleasure of) just completed the World tour.
In the intro it says - not for the feint hearted. This is so true - not that I am at all brave - but it does cost a lot of self disciplne and there were more occassions than one that the urge to throw in the towel was very strong.
For the record - The tour was started on 7 March 2012 and the last leg was done on 23 April 2012.
Total time spent was 198,57 hours - almost 200 and the mileage flown was 51,015.
I take my hat off to who ever worked out this tour.
This is just for general information.

I take my hat off to you, Dirk!
You've flown in one month almost as much as I have flown in my entire EHM career! (I joined in December 2008 ...)  :o

Congrats on this massive achievement!

Alexander and Eric-Jan,

You can not have any idea how much your comments mean to me. At the times when giving up was considered I thought - no carry on - someone will notice - and now these very encouraging words from the two of you.

My sincerest appreciation is expressed herewith. It amkes it worth all the effort.

Kind regards

Dirk

Thank you so much Trevor. I did not realize that it was in a good time. Just started to WT and flew nothing else until completed. Only just in time as well as the James Bond one was almost due to start.
