???As in driving to Roslare, taking the ferry to Cherbourg and driving to holland?? That would nearly take you a whole day.
Hope you make it oneway or another though.

Nice pics by the way, so pissed off I had to cancel at the last minute. Bloody unions and strikes
Can't believe I missed a flame out / near ejection....
Post by: Guinness on June 20, 2007, 08:19:11 am
I saw the birdstrike happening and realy thought the pilot would eject.
I was talking to him later on the day and it crossed his mind 3 times to "pull the handle".
Fair play to him to bring the bring the F-16 AM in anyhow.
