Chief at last!

Congratulations are in store for my wonderful hubby who is finally the new chief pilot of Alligator Airways. He flew up to Darwin on Wednesday afternoon, had his written and oral tests on Thursday, and his flight test on Friday. He was pretty shattered by last night! But, he passed, and that is the main thing. Now he can start doing the work he has been trying to do since August! Woohoo!

New Desk!!!

My new desk finally arrived!!! It took me two nights to put together but I love it! It fits in our little house so much better! Eldon and I bought an ergonomic chair each also, one for me at home and one for his new office.

Float Plane Ride


I went for my first float plane ride! We had to get up early to get the best weather. 6am we were out Lake Kununurra ready to take off. One of Alligator Airway's pilots flew Eldon, me, and Zoe (marketing manager) around a new route to see what we thought. The water on Lake Kununurra was amazing and smooth, but when we got up to Lake Argyle, it was a bit more choppy. We skipped the touch and go there but still got some good views around that area. Then we went over the dam wall and followed the Upper Ord River back to Kununurra. Beautiful scenery...would be even better in the wet season!
