Hi All, Here's a short video from my solo charity flight around Australia. I hope you enjoy it. http://www.owenzupp.com/_blog/Owen_Zupp/post/A_Flight_Around_Australia_for_the_Royal_Flying_Doctor_Srrvice_An_Aviation_Blog_Video_by_Owen_Zupp/ Cheers, Owen

Hi All, Can you recall a special moment aloft? That really still morning, or the first solo? After speaking to a few chaps, I wrote this piece that seems to have struck home with a lot of fellow pilots. It's one I thought I'd share. http://www.owenzupp.com/_blog/Owen_Zupp/post/Moments_An_Aviation_Blog_by_Owen_Zupp/ Cheers, Owen

Hi All, Firstly, my sincere thanks to everyone who has been visiting my blog and emailing me. In response I have started a 'Learn to Fly' series that I'll build up over the coming months. The first instalment is "A Matter of Course". http://www.owenzupp.com/_blog/Owen_Zupp/post/Learning_to_Fly_A_Matter_of_Course_(Part_One)_An_Aviation_Blog_by_Owen_Zupp/ I won't keep updating every time there's a new story because I don't want to pester this forum and there's something new virtually every day anyway. There are also updates on my FB page which I know some of you are following. Thanks again, Owen

Hi Sniznaudin, That's an impressively damaged fan. Sorry, I don't have any photos of my engine mentioned in "The Little Things". It pre-dated photo-phones and even the little digital cameras that sit nicely in the nav bag these days. Cheers Owen

Hi All, Here's the latest one for you. I've also posted an image of Sydney Airport from above. http://www.owenzupp.com/_blog/Owen_Zupp/post/Sometimes_it's_the_Little_Things_An_Aviation_Blog_by_Owen_Zupp/ Cheers, Owen

H i Siznaudin, Sounds like it would have been great! I'm getting a few messages about 'getting lost in the blog'. Aplogies for that, there's a lot of content and the news of the blog only just seems to be catching on now. I hope you enjoy the reading of the blog though. As long as there's enough people enjoying it, I'll continue to publish it, and at the moment that seems to be the case. (So tell your mates, too. :-)) Cheers, Owen

Hi Siznaudin, The failure of cylinders on these engines turned out to have occurred more than once. Here is an ATSB report on another incident and late in the report it refers to other occurrences. http://www.atsb.gov.au/publications/investigation_reports/1998/aair/aair199804715.aspx I trust this answers the question. Cheers Owen

Hi All, Here's a new post about a partial engine failure. http://www.owenzupp.com/_blog/Owen_Zupp/post/The_Big_Bang_Theory_An_Aviation_Blog_by_Owen_Zupp/ Cheers, Owen

Thanks Dexter, The website's only relatively new, but growing at a huge rate. Would you mind sharing how/where you stumbled onto it? Any blogs that I think would be enjoyed by the forum, I'll post a link. Mind you, it's all about aviation every day. :-) Cheers Owen

Hi All, I just thought I'd drop by to say hi and share your enthusiasm for aviation. I'm a commercial pilot and writer. I also run a blog about all things aviation. http://www.owenzupp.com/_blog/Owen_Zupp Cheers, Owen
