Folks, I can't stress enough my thanks to VATPAC for hosting our FNO this coming Friday. This should be a great opportunity for us all to break out of the "same ole same ole" and have a great time with our hosts down under! Let's go down and show our hosts some great traffic and have a great time! I can't wait to get down to Australia and enjoy some warm weather and enjoy the warmth (and scenery) of the beautiful beaches!

I just learned that the Panic Stations events are VATPAC's way of bringing a ton of traffic. FNOs are usually great for traffic. So let's bring it - in full force!

I've got the crew out waxing the plane to make sure it's shiny so the Aussie's think we are respectable guests. I'm looking forward to going down under and being treated to some great hospitality from our friends in VATPAC. I'm also looking forward to escaping the polar vortex and walking out of my cockpit to enjoy 29C/84F temperatures!

Let's go, folks.... ROAD TRIP!
