How about the Chrissy holidays, anything planned from anyone?

None for me this year.
I shall be keeping a vigilant eye over this great nation.
I am on SAR Alert standby over the whole Chrissy period.

What does standby consist of? Do you get to sit at home or sit at the office or?

at the moment it looks like i'll be working through......so just the main days,but i hope to get a little modeling done.

I still need to get a HS 125, I'm sure I'll run across one here or there.

The Sword UC-125 is very nice, I have 2 and am considering 'demilling' the second.

We do three different shifts:
AM Shift 0700-1300 at base
PM Shift 1300-1900 at base
Night Shift 1900-0700 at home, (with a requirement to be at base within 30 minutes of SAR callout).
While on base shifts....no sitting around idle. Many weekly continuation training tasks must be completed. We have a mock up of the jet on base, and are constantly training......much like fireys or ambos.
We are constantly monitored and audited for proficiency.

Ah right, I was just imaging you sitting out on your deck chair at dispersal like in the BoB movie, reading a book before the phone rings and Arnold screams "SAR SCRAMBLE
