Dubai to sri lanka

L1010177

Departing just after sunrise and before it gets hot.  Thirteen hours to Sri Lanka, mainly over water so there unfortunately won’t be many interesting things on this leg to photograph.

Some members of the Jetwing Lagoon Hotel staff and Mr. S. Jude perera (blue shirt), founder of the Christian Pilots Association Of Sri Lanka (C.P.A.S).  Mr. Jude was kind enough to give me a quick tour of the historic city of Negombo.   Wish I had more time to see the “furry, scaled and feathered creatures” of this beautiful country.

  1. Adrian,
    What, no Yemen or Somalia for you? Maybe next time you’re in the neighborhood. On to Indo? Or all the way to Australia? I love watching your tracks around the planet!

    Every future flight will seem so mundane. Looks like you are halfway, we anxiously await your arrival. Tail winds and clear skies my friend.

  8. N1: It is great to be able to watch you on this adventure, it is really a dream, one that every pilot would love to do, I am so proud to be your friend and be just a small part of this adventure. All the BPT instructors are inspired by this undertaking and there will be a big party at EAA Oshkosh for you this year.
