Sadly I did, not a pretty sight and suprised there wasn't a viewer descretion warning before they exposed an unsuspecting nation to his image.
Must admit that if i'd been placing bets on what TV show he'd appear on I'd have been backing Highway patrol or crimewatch over 1 news.

Damn. Missed it. But Jimbo lives about 100m away from the Fletcher so I'm not all that surprised.
Good stuff John boy.

It might be the last time, the old bugger told me he was hanging up his flying goggles & taking a desk job shortly. Dammit, i missed my opportunity to go up with him & strafe dairy cows.

Who has a link?
Try this one http://tvnz.co.nz/one-news/video . Chapter 5 has the weather, and John is on at the end of that....
That link may only work for today by the look of it...

I wonder if John applies his attributes for flying an Ag Plane of "you have to be strong in the arms and weak in the head to be a good ag pilot" to riding the bike? Best wishes for a career change John.

Yep, good to see John in his plane.
I would have been impressed if it was a speed camera photo..................

Brilliant, he made it to the end of the week I can uncross all those crossed bits now! Is Annie breathing unaided yet?
Great to get out of it on my terms, Jim. Too many have left the ag aviation industry in a pine box.
Onwards and upwards.... :)

Congratulations John!
Now on those good riding days you won't have some cocky ringing you up at 6am asking you to come top dress his paddocks. :2thumbsup
Thanks for your kind wishes, folks! :)
I'm lucky I was able to do what I dreamed of as a kid.
Time to move on now, though! :niceone:

I saw that but did not think it could be "our" Pussy until a bit too late, then I thought nah, he doesn't sound like someone who is ready to quit flying yet!
Wish I had of known, would have paid more attention, "strong in the arms, weak in the head" he said! :shifty: Hmmmm, I said to myself! :mellow:
All the best for whatever you are going to do with the remainder of your "fading" youth Pussy! Enjoy! Or even better, come and have look down here! :ride: :yes:

No way! For years, the only flying I have done is work.
For now, I may do some recreational flying... if I can be arsed!
Thanks for your kind wishes, folks! :)

Though I hope you're not going to hang around CKT looking like a vagrant?:laugh:
