    It is quite disconcerting to think that 10 years have elapsed since VirginBlue, as it was known back then, introduced the E170!! Only seems like yesterday. Time flies at a frighteningly rapid speed indeed!
    We are also rapidly approaching two decades since the collapse of Ansett Australia, yet that still seems so fresh in mind too.
    Am I just getting old?! What’s that old adage, “Seize the day!” Make each one count…and include time for a daily read of Australian Aviation, of course!!
