To all our fun we are having here I did not expect that it is
getting that funny!

Well, I cannot remember being ever hired for some cross country flying –
especially with a friend and Moyes colleague – but I do know that I followed
Kathleen's record attempts in Oz last winter. Due to bad weather luck it did not
come to a happy ending, sadly!

I also know how much effort, pre-preparation, time and energy you have to invest
in such a project. I also know how it feels when it does not work out first
time. Hard to express but let's call it disappointment.

Having a high appreciation for pilots like this who try to push their personal
limits I also have deepest respect to Kathleen as a mother, hard working woman
and a competition and cross country-pilot as well as even taking the energy to
fly world records – WOW!

So after giving these facts in a quite simple way which are actually way more
complex than just writing them up in a few lines, I invited Kathleen to get some
big cross country flying here at my place in Austria which is not that much
effort as going to Oz from Europe. And as a cool flying adventure my intentions
were to show her this exciting flying over alpine peaks, lakes and glaciers.
Everything else like FAI records, which are just a written paper in black and
white, will be just a bonus then.

Anyway, these paper lists can never keep up to such a beautiful life experience
shining in all colours when your own dreams suddenly come true! After all it
comes back to the real meanings in life: good friendship, good teamwork and last
but not least sharing a good time together! Thank you all who joined our joy of
cross country flying and all your congratulations worldwide!

Good flying to you Corinna and all you motivated female pilots out there! I hope
to hear about further cross country flights and to see great pictures to support
our beautiful and privileged sport!
