Departed Mersa Matrum International airport and flew to 6th October airport just south of Cairo, where the airplane was to be hangared while we visited the Pyramids.  Fortunately, we made it just in time as a sandstorm approaching from the West the visibility dropped to almost zero.

  1. Wow !!! Seeing you on a camel is priceless, the pictures from the pyramids are awesome. Stay safe my friend!!!

  2. Quite the adventure, Adrian. You’re fulfilling the dreams of many of us, and representing Aviators in fine fashion. Flying the line now seems so boring! Thanks for the awesome pictures… Tom Saxon

  3. The pictures are truly awesome, thanks for posting. The boys in Pensacola, Steven and Tyler, say hi.

  4. When I saw the photo of you on the camel I thought of the song “we three kings of orient are”; you are our Magi for general aviation; appreciate the fantastic photos; I, too, echo Tom Saxon’s sentiment. Stay safe buddy!🛩

  5. Sand storms, pyramids and camels- what an awesome adventure! Always look forward to the updates and pictures! Still trying to figure out how to “ACARS” you while you’re in flight……

    Stay safe and enjoy the flying!!

  6. That bucket list is getting shorter! Hopefully you are warming to the notion of vacationing! lol Be safe!!

  7. Awesome pictures! I thought that you might get saddle sores from being in the Bonanza for so long…..until I saw you on that camel!
    Safe flying, my friend!
