The journey home was, fortunately, uneventful.

Getting the model boxes free carriage as sporting equipment was no problem at all. Somewhat different to the UK.

Bumped into our Pilot at security so we were invited to the flightdeck before the flight.

Our slightly overweight Pilot then informed us that he was recently back at work after a heart attack.  I then checked the Co-Pilots credentials.  Both are RC Model Pilots too.

The Pilot told the crew to treat us well, so we got served champaign and at the end of the flight were presented with a bottle of Champaign and Red Wine.  A great treat, but an upgrade would have been nicer .

Mark Chinery was kind enough to play taxi again and we were soon home to catch up on some sleep.

Unfortunately I was stuck with Ollie for another night as we were off to the Nationals the next day,  where I could pass him on the next unlucky surrogate dad.

- Sorry for the delays in getting this blog updated, but been really busy at work since returning. 

Check back again in a few days when I hope to have some pictures up, and a report from the Nationals.
