Fly safe! Fly smart!
Fly safe, guys! Is anyone still flying even? I hear so little flying adventure stories from anybody nowadays. Could be the frigid temperatures that have been gripping the US lately …
My company has decided not to do a lot of overseas work because it got so complicated, so I’m doing more sitting than usual this year as well.
Speaking of flying and adventures; Some of you might know we also make and sell patches (especially in our US webshop) and last year was a bad year for new patches because there were no airshows. That’s where most of them get sold and they give squadrons a reason to make more and earn some money on the side. It is looking like this year will see a lot of shows getting cancelled yet again.
What have you guys heard? I’m assuming “Sun ‘n Fun” is still on since Florida is not much into the shut-down thing. Any news on Oshkosh this year? Miramar? Nellis?
The European Show “Aero” we love to go to was re-scheduled for the summer. Bad timing for me personally, because I’m usually pretty busy fighting fires in the summer. But we’ll keep an eye on the situation.

Due to the shutdown in Germany and bad weather there wasn’t any flying at least for me!
But I will this weekend, to relax and to get ready for the upcoming season.
Wish you all many happy landings, 😎
If the Aero is held at all in 2021, I cannot see it happening in summer. Best bet would be September-October. But I’d not be suprised to see it cancelled altogether.
Mind you, this is gut feeling, not based on any factual information.
Australia has banned citizens departing until at least Jun/Jul this year. At this stage we’d still need a 2 week mandatory “you pay” quarantine in a hotel room after we return so I doubt I’m going anywhere until 2022 🙁
