Every time I go home for my vacation, I make it a point to "bug" my Kuya Rico for any flight that I can tag along with in his Heli (He flies a Euroopter AS365 now). I am planning to go this December but it's not yet final. Depends if my work will permit me to go but for sure around May next year I'll be in Manila. I'll be sure to let you know Sir :-) Cheers!

I really wish I can meet you in person one day and just trade stories of flying (even though clearly, you'll be doing all the story telling) :-) If I'm able to take you on your offer to fly in your famous Cessna, that would be my second time in one. The first time was at Umm Al Qwain Aeroclub back in 2005 when we went for a discover flying in a 172SP Skyhawk. I loved every minute of "flying" it :-) Can't wait to hear about your latest flying adventures with Capt. Meynard. Cheers! Hi again Sir Tonet, thank you so much for the invite.

Yes, you may use the shots, provided you credit them to Flying in Crosswinds, and post them unedited (you can crop them). When are you climbing Pinatubo? People I have talked to who have climbed Pinatubo have all raved about the experience. I'm sure you will have a fantastic time! Sorry for the late reply, but I was traveling. I trust it's not too late for you to compose your poster. Thanks for your wish for "More Flights!" Never got that greeting before! :-) Tonet Nienna, thank you for visiting Flying in Crosswinds!

First of all, thanks for visiting Flying in Crosswinds. You know Captain Halili, clearly. Well enough to be inspired. He is my inspiration too, and this Yuletide season I hope to fly as much as I can with him. I have a lot more stories about Meynard. Are you in Manila this weekend? Maybe we can fly together :) I'll send you my mobile number to your contact info here. Thanks again, and I hope your dreams come true. I really do. Come visit Flying in Crosswinds often! Tonet Wade!

I'm a "dreamer" as well and am very lucky to have found your Blog on the net. My personal favorite inspiration is that bit about Capt. Halili, a real role model, if one should ever need one. (I hero worship my cousin Capt. Rico J. closely followed by Capt. Halili) I remember when my Kuya Rico whose also a pilot (heli, a picture of one of the helis he used to fly was featured in your blog "Yuletide Flying", the bit about Capt. Dado's AS 355) took me to meet Capt. Halili at his flight school (back in 2004) to help me decide if I really wanted to be a pilot (I really love to, but I'm still 2 million pesos short till now). The point he wants me to get is that it's easy to learn to fly but the Human Factor, to decide if it's safe to fly, is most important. He talked about identifying the types of clouds mostly that day. I was thinking, “when do I get to learn the controls of his canary yellow R22?” Capt. Halili learned to fly at age 40, I'm still within that self-imposed limit :-) More power to you, your sons and your fantastic blog! This is my “lifeline” here in DXB to my “dream”. Cheers!
