Around Australia in a Jabiru

Recommended Posts

Hi All,

 

Yes, I was very fortunate to have the chance to undertake this flight.

 

As mentioned by 'facthunter', planning was critical to the flight being both safe and timely. In fact the first few chapters discuss the planning steps that took place long before I ever got off the ground. (You can view these planning chapters for free on Amazon as they allow a 'peak' inside. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HETIJJ4 )

 

Cheers

just bought a copy. Well done Owen on this great fundraiser.

 

Hi All,Just to let you know that I've released the book about my charity flight around Australia in the Jabiru J230D. It's titled 'Solo Flight' and has around 200 pictures from the trip. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HETIJJ4

 

Cheers

Thanks 'cooperplace'.

 

The support of this community was great at the time of the flight and has been the same since the book was released.

 

The flight itself was fulfilling on a number of levels. As a fundraiser for the RFDS, to promote the role and history of aviation in Australia and to meet so many wonderful people along the way. Without doubt the flight is a highlight of my 17,000 hours of flying and 49 years of living.

 

Cheers mate,

 

Owen

Hi 'jorditzu9',

 

Thanks for your interest.

 

'Solo Flight' can be read on any iPad or PC. Here are the links on how to do it http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html?docId=1000426311 and http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html?docId=1000490441

 

'MagnetoDrop' is also correct that 'Solo Flight' became available on iTunes this week.

 

Thanks again one and all.

Hi Gary,

Thanks for your kind words about 'Solo Flight'.

 

I was just 'revisiting' where I might fly to next when I saw your post. The arctic sounds interesting. :-)

 

Thanks again,

Hi Gary,
