3 X mystry Lightwings over Shute harbour ????.......

[Guest Maj Millard]

Spotted what looked like three Lightwings passing over Shute harbour Airport around noon today (29th), headed North. Anybody know anything about them ??...They were high but sure looked like Lightwings and the one I could hear sounded 912 powered.

 

Gee I don't know if I've ever seen three together before in the air !..I only know of two in this area and I know mine was in the hangar. Either way they would have had about 20 kts up their behinds today so I can understand them not stopping !!........................................................Maj...

Gundy left for Monto last year in his Savvy as I was doing my preflight. I think it is 51 miles. I cruised at 100 kts and we both arrived at the same time Time difference about 5 minutes.
