The Final Flight and Cake Cutting

To end a Perfect WorldFlight Speedbird 744 was part of the Final Stunt that all the Official teams do on their return to Sydney ... this year we flew low and fast over Sydney Airport turn left into the Harbour , fly under the Harbour Bridge and perform 2 Barell rolls followed by a touch and go and final landing .... all this takes a lot of co-ordinating with Air Traffic control having to pick off the Official teams for the arrival and also stopping landings and takeoffs at Sydney as we fly by.  

Here is a Video of the Highlights of the Last Flight, Bridge Run and Cake Cutting

After 1 week of continuing flying covering 45 flights and 43,000 miles Speedbird 744 was finally shut down on the same stand she started from and was given a weeks rest before flying customers again in her normal day job :)

The crew gathered for the "cutting of John's 10th Anniversary Cake" ... it seemed such a great shame to cut it as it was awesome !   and it looked a bit forlorn like it had been sent to the Scrap Heap .... but he he , it tasted delicious , the remaining crew gathered in front of an "All Pink" flight board with all flights crossed off signifying our success !

The Cutting of the Cake ... Looks like its at the Scrap Yard ! :(

The Flight board after the last flight, all flights crossed off in Pink

A perfect WorldFlight, all flights completed and no big crashes ! :)

We have just a little more money to come in but so far we raised £1,750 for the Warwickshire and Northamptonshire Air Ambulance which is based here in Coventry.  We would just like to thank all of you who donated and encourage you spare a few coins if you have not already done so as it is still not too late !
