New Snowy Mountains Flyer

[Snowyrover]

G'day All

 

I started flying mid last year, after watching my son taking off all the time with his lessons..

 

One lesson was all it took to be hooked. So I now have full rec licence, x country and all.

 

Just arrived back home from Bundaberg in a new 170-D. So we will see where to now??

Congrats on the aircraft Steve,

 

I'll have a drool over it next time I am down at Cooma (once the runway dries out). How did you go landing after all the rain??

Thanks Guys.

 

Yes Phil, the runway is still under water about halfway along. I made a short landing on half the tarmac runway, no problems!

Hi Steve,

 

Good stuff! ...And I bet you wish you'd done it years ago, don't you?

 

Cheers

Hi Steve.

 

I believe you met my husband Brian and our friend Tony when they were picking up the J230 at Bundaberg a couple of weeks ago when you picked up the J170 with your son, and then again at Moree.

 

Glad to see you made it back safe and sound.

Yes Linda, That was me, Brian and Tony were great, happy to share their time with my son and myself, It does show what a welcoming community this flying obsession has!

 

They obviously got the 230 home ok also.
