4th July 09


Exciting day today … off to play with the ‘Fly-Boys’ at Wattisham SAR families Day! Nigel was displaying and we all got invited in and I got to fly in a big yellow helicopter – yay!!! It was really exciting and I was surprised how manoeuvrable it was (well actually I think it was a case of the pilot thinking anything these fixed-wing boys can do … LOL!!)! Got my piccie taken with the pilot as well – gosh I’m such a Superstar Bear … everyone wants a pic with me!! We also got looked after very well with a BIG Barbie – I like coming here J

Afterwards we headed off to EGSR for some fuel (& a chance for me to say bye to my Firebear as I’m headed off to Australia for a bit) before taking me back home – it was good to see mum again, I have missed her. Exciting day at Hardwick too as Uncle Chris was going for a check ride in the Yak – hey Uncle Chris, come here – I can tell you ALL about the Yak seeing as I’ve flown it loads!! Hmmm Uncle Chris just gave me a funny look and went to listen to Nigel. Mum & Uncle Dave went up in the Harvard & took some air-to–air pics … but they all left me behind – HEY! That’s not fair !!
