Something that will be of interest to everyone is that PER has opened a new outdoor viewing deck late yesterday (Friday local).
Saturday was it's first full day on the job, and I must say I've been pretty impressed by it.
Have done a TR-like write up on the new facility, which is available from my member blog. If you'd ever like someone with in-depth knowledge of the airport to join you out there then please don't hesitate to drop me a line and ask.
Also had the pleasure of meeting Geoffrey Thomas - who you might know as the Aviation Editor for The West Australian, as well as Chief Editor for Air Transport World and a contributor to Australian Aviation magazine. We chanced upon Geoffrey just as we arrived and he was about to leave.
We had a great 15min chat, exchanged cards as he wanted to keep in touch, and unexpectedly gifted both myself and friend tangof1 (an infrequent AFF posted, more lurker than anything) whom was with me a personally signed copy of the comedy cartoon book he co-wrote, Passengers who make your life hell. Quite apt given recent discussion around here about foul mouthed phone users in the QP and many other nasty pax and their behaviours encountered en route.
Photos of the deck to follow, recovering from some significant sunburn on account of my own forgetfulness and stupidity.
