Next Week
I’ve got something special planned for next week (as my birthday falls towards the end of the week). You’ll have to see where this post is being reported from next week.
Until the end of the week, it’s going to be our usual mixture of news, coverage and whatever else catches my eye.
Until then, Happy Landings!
