Current Goal

George just got his private pilot's license and wants to head over to Athens, Greece to visit his family.
The only problem is that the airplane he's flying has no navigational aids. So he needs your help to get there.

**** UPDATE APRIL 2005 *****
Well folks, George has been flying around for almost 3 years now and many things have changed since he first took off. He needs to get back to Calgary for some well-earned RNR. If you can help, we'd both be grateful! Thanks everyone for a wonderful adventure! ******

About This Item

George, the travel bug, needs to get to Athens, Greece to visit his family, which he hasn't seen in years.

So, he took flying lessons, got his permit and bought a small plane. All that cost him quite a lot of money and he didn't have enough to get the instrument package.

Without any thought, he took from Calgary and he's presently looking for your help to get him to his destination.

If you can help him along, then that would be great.
Once he reaches Athens, just email me and I'll arrange for his family to meet or pick him up.

Good luck George and have a safe trip!

    Poor George's family have been waiting quite a while for him to arrive. I don't know how much help we can be since we have no reason or plans to go to Greece, but at least he made it out of Canada.

    We will try to get him near an airport or at least into a popular cache soon. But for the time being he will enjoy a peaceful rest with us and our dog and cat. Not much partying at this house, perhaps his next layover will be more lively.

    Rescued this one from the 'Bog' which is pretty well inaccessible at this time. Since it wants to go to Greece, not London I'll bring it farther east and hopefully help it on it's way.

    No plans for Greece in the near future, but I'll move this aviator along to a higher traffic cache shortly.

    Cheers
