Mongol Rally 2011!
This is insane! I will participate in the Mongol Rally this summer! Me and Gustav (Teamleader) will drive from London to Ulaan Baator, its about 2000 swe miles....
It will take about 4-6 weeks and you are not allowed a fancy car or gps. Most of the roads lacks of condition and its not the safest countries to travel trough...
But what an adventure! Craaaazy!
On thursday we will have bigger meeting to plan the route, calculate money and start to search for more sponsors. So from now on you can follow our preparations here :)

Riding quarterbike in the sanddunes!
Todays highlight and maybe even the trips funniest time was when me and Lisa joined Shawn, Cody, Jessica and some locals out to the desert. They brought their bikes and we got to ride on the back of quarterbikes! See this photos..... more will come later on :)
Gotta continue packing! Feels boring its all over and everybody is leaving.... :(
Bye for now!
Day after.....
Last days was really good except that there was a hold for a couple of hours when some VIP landed on the airport next to display area. Pretty strange...... so Python did not fly. Catwalk is halfway disassembled.
It was a great party lat night and now we just had breakfast so we gotta run for the bus!
Speak later! :)
What a great day AGAIN!

What a great day!
This morning we flew 9 airplanes and 1 helicopter over the desert for photos and video shooting. We had PYTHON and CATWALK in the air. And 3 wingwalkers! It was so cool and pretty hard, because we had to fly faster than we usually do to keep speed with the faster airplanes. The funny thing is that they flew slowy....
Look at these photos, do I have to tell you I love to fly?!
Later on the show started and everything went well, we ran around playing cats as always after the flight and got interviewed by tv's n stuff :)
Billy the Badger followed me on the top wing :) He fly for charity! Good guy ;)
I cant explain to you what a good time Im having... and all these sweet people I learnt to know, how I will miss them! Hopefully I will meet you all again on airshows in the future :) And... facebook is good shit! Just had a beer with my team and some other favorites, now we all have to get some rest for tomorrows show. It was a rough flight this morning, 40 minutes on the wing is not a game :P
On the photos you can see our new suits! Better or not? :)
Gnite! xxx
Weather looks goooood!
The weather is just perfect now in the morning!
Sunshine, no dust in the air and noooo wind :) The flags outside the hotel is hanging like a wet cloth...
I got up a little bit earlier today just to prepare for showday, had a nice breakfast with omelette and coffee.
Poor Linda is not as good today, she is sick :( Hope she will be better soon. One of the americans got sick a week ago, she had to go to hospital, probably because of the tap water here....
7.55 am here, gotta go to our bus that leaves at 8... c ya!

Today everybody flew a schedule but without visitors. Tomorrow and saturday there will be real showdays! ;) Emma & Lisa wingwalked on one wing each and I stood on the ground watching and hanging around with nice people. Me Like!

Working and shopping instead :)
After all that work and bills to pay I went for lunch with the team when they came back. Then some relaxing by the pool and playing in the kids water slide with Lisa ;) Haha! That was really funny!
Went down town again to look for fabric and a tailor to make a dress, found some real cool fabric with prepared embroidery for neck and sleeves. This you leave to a tailor and let him know how you want him to sew it. Pick up on friday and hopefully I can wear it on saturday night :) And it's crazy cheap! Cost less than a dress att H&M in Sweden... Also bought a really funny pair of pants for only 25 dirhams (50 sek), with slim embroidery at the bottom and super wide fitting in the waist!
Dinner was as usually at the hotel bufé, very good one! Lindas birthday was celebrated again with singing and cake! She got surprised again :) Now, after a beer and some chatting with other teams by the pool it's bedtime. Up early tomorrow, rehearsal is the plan... The show is cancelled but we will probably fly at least!!
Good night!
First showday cancelled :(
From mondays Dubai trip, a stop on the beach. What a grey day! ;)
Due to the strong wind they had to cancel today. It is supposed to calm down this afternoon, please please please do!!
Yesterday we didnt fly 'cause of wind and sand. We spent the morning in the hangar mostly chatting and hanging around. Playing on the CATWALK to try possibilities of new positions and maneuvers :) After lunch at the military base we went back to the hotel. Me, Lisa and Emma went down town Al Ain to find a tailor to fix the cat tail attachment on our new suits and by birthday gifts for Linda.
After successful missions we went back to the hotel for dinner and Airshow Opening Ceremony in the ball room. A nice event with chocolate fondue, finger food, drinks and more. Since we knew todays show was cancelled the party moved out to the bar next to the pool and we stayed up late having a really great time! Entertaining our new friends with swedish snapsvisor (party drinking songs) was a success! Most of all they enjoyed the midsummer song 'små grodorna' (song about small frogs) and the moves to it! We didnt dance around but tried to explain our midsummer traditions, I think we might have a lot of tourist coming this midsummer to check us out ;) haha!
Today we got up 6.30 to blow up balloons and go singing for Linda! She was so surprised! :)
After that most of us went for a swim in the pool before breakfast, nice!
Except me and Jacob the team rented a bus and went out the check the surroundings. I got some work to be done, and Ive seen sand before ;) If it wasn't this wind I would like to do that quarter bike driving in the sand dunes!
Most boring is photos of hotels, but this is my home for the moment...

Windy morning....
I was up working to 1.30am in the morning and woke up at 6.40, so Im a little bit tired.... The wind is still strong. Hopefully it calms down during the day. Otherwise we got time to finish some sewing on our new suits! They need a cat tail! And that was what I picked up at the postoffice the same day I left Sweden :) They are pretty cool!
Just ate breakfast, and now we might go to the base (hangar) or maybe something else.... We will see. Have a gret day!
