Advanced Flight, what do YOU want to do this year.
by
Kyle Colley
Hello all in advanced flight this year.0 Replies 53 weeks
Most of you may already have been asked, but this will be an area for any ideas for what you may want to do today. I personally will check this regularly and report back to PLT/OFF England with any of your ideas. Don't forget, you can talk to either myself, LAC Yim or LAC Bakmeedeniya.
So get thinking, and remember, the only stupid idea is the one not said.

Kirsten McKenzie3/16/09Top shot at the Proficiency Shoot was U/O Greatrex.
The top shot from Proficiency Flight was CDT Rosser.
Great time had by all, thanks to the NCO's who turned up and assisted.
Special mention to F/S Subramaniam, who whilst on an urgent mission to purchase more staples for the staple gun, bumped into Sachin Tendulkar, and actually shook his hand! next time F/S, remember to a/ use the camera on your cellphone to take a photo, and b/ invite him back to shooting!!! -
