Flight begins at Fifty

50 Not Out

Whilst all the other guys are still preparing their blockbusting posts for the blog I thought I should give you something to be going on with. So here's a bunch of pointless statistics. When checking the other day I discovered that the flight out to HK will be the 50th I have taken. Assuming I make it to the end of the week the return will of course be 51. Following the HK trip I will have spent more than 8 days in the air and completed more than 100,000 miles of air travel, enough to circumnavigate the globe about 4 times (and get 42% of the way to the moon). At 5,991 miles the HK flight will be my longest, beating a 1981 flight to Los Angeles by around 500 miles. In case you think I'm making all this up it's all recorded at  Flight Memory a special website for sad gits.

Right, if that doesn't get the others reaching for their keyboards nothing will.
