The Flight of the Saltire

I'm sure there are a lot of places she hasn't been yet...has she been to Vancouver BC? By now a refit is in order I'm sure, but a cruise up the Pacific Coast could provide some interesting backdrops.

Glad to see she made it home.

I certainly hope she continues her Flights of Friendship. We missed her this year by "just that much" for the Balloon Fiesta.

X-marks continues to grow and attract members world wide. Perhaps she can venture to the land of Oz, or South Africa. Buneos Aries, Rio de Janeiro or even the Holy Land are are places the good ship could be dispatched to!

A refit, a little R &R in the Bay area and then off for different skies?

Cheers!

If she does fly up the Pacific Coast sometime again, I wouldn't mind a brief layover in Bellingham / Whatcom County

...Bellingham is just down the road from Vancouver--no trouble making a connection there.

It would be fun to moor the Saltire in the Downtown Historic Railway carbarn for a photo--but that will have to wait 'till the middle of May {opening day will probably be 14 May 2011}
