Hey T,

Good to see another video from you. Really like the wing view around 4:55 Was actually just wondering about that today and was going to write you a message. Hope all is well.

Hi J - these videos are from several months ago, I am away in the aircraft again up in the same areas, but have been so busy that I have not done much video. Great to hear from you again, hope you are keeping well.

Regards

Nice videos, trying to decide if one of this or a jetprop dlx , what do you think ? Mission is sheep farms in mexico 200 miles round trip 6000 ft.

Shorter trips like this will more than likely suit the Mirage better and will be far more economical to run. Also if round trip is only 200 miles then that would mean operations in the lower altitudes - jetprops being a turbine will burn a tonne of fuel at low altitudes. Eitherway both are great machines - I paid more to have a glass cockpit which is important to me. All the best with your choice.

Cheers

AussieM, your vids are a MASSIVE inspiration to me as I have a goal to own a Mirage just like yours. I am in the networking business and I have groups of people all over South Africa. The Mirage just makes sense! Thanks for your vids cause they're keeping me motivated and keeping my dream alive!!! Love the paint job on your machine too!!

[AussieMirage]

Thanks for the comments - all the best with getting your own Mirage, they are a great machine.

Cheers

Hi - thanks for the comments, will try a new video position but it is hard as normally there is only myself and one other in the aircraft.

Cheers T

Would be pretty cool to see the speed brakes in action! Maybe get the camera position a bit further back sorta just behind and between the front seats, there's a lot down on the bottom of the panel and console that is missed. I love these videos, just keeps me going and firing on all 12 cylinders!

Just realized my last message made no sense. I was wondering how things were going and about any new videos coming up.

Ahh, 3:15am can do that to me.
