03:05 >> Well, that was a big day, but we got there.
03:09 I ended up doing 145 takeoffs and landings or circuits.
03:14 So I climbed out, maintained runway heading until 500 feet,
03:18 done a 500 foot circuit, then dropped in and did a landing.
03:22 Had to get all three wheels on the ground,
03:24 were classified as a landing, and we got photos of all that.
03:28 And then take off again.
03:29 I had to have a few stops during the day to have a drink and a stretch, refuel.
03:34 But yeah, we got it all done.
03:36 So I can't begin to list off all the people that have helped me get to this point.
03:42 So I'm not even gonna try.
03:44 I'd just be able to say I really appreciate everyone giving me a hand.
03:48 I'm gonna win the airplane with today getting it all done.
03:53 And hopefully we can raise some much needed funds for the Royal Flying Doctor Service.
03:57 So thanks everyone.
