Enroute, I share some impressions of the bird, tell some lame gags, and indulge in a bit of simming voyeurism involving a fence. All in all, a pretty typical video for this channel.

    Saw this today in my local newspaper - for some reason I thought of you. "A playful Perth pilot took to the skies above Tayside to spell out the name ‘Jude’ using their plane. The pilot flew their Censa 152 plane for more than an hour on Thursday. Although it did not mean much to those on the ground, eagle-eyed plane-spotters noticed the route was spelling out a word on the Flightradar24 app. Taking off from Perth Airport, the flight went over Blairgowrie and Coupar Angus, before flying over to Dundee and landing back at Perth."

At the time it was even cheaper than XPlane! But in the end I was put off by the huge install and reported performance issues.

    And much thanks to you from Canada. Looking forward to when next we are graced with your dulcet tones. Do take care and get yourself rested, refreshed and rejuvenated.
