Goulburn -> Bathurst -> Walcha (Tamworth)

[boingk]

Hey there everyone probably a bit late notice but thought I'd give a heads up of my trip tomorrow.

 

If you'd like to fly along then I'll be leaving Goulburn Sunday morning around 10am for arrival at Bathurst around 11am. Quick refuel/coffee/watch check and off to Walcha - somewhat past Tamworth.

 

Plan is to return before last light, or stay overnight if there is not enough time or conditions change from predicted.

 

Cheers all - boingk

Sounds like fun, have a great day and watch your density altitude if it's hot, Walcha is Australias highest airport!

I hope the trip went well.

 

You know that the more you fly the minicab the harder it will be to let it go!

 

Howard, for what it is worth, I think the honour of Australia's highest airport may go to Caramurra, operated by SMA, and sits 4,800 feet ASL. Also, the Mount Hotham strip is 4,260 feet ASL.

 

Cheers

I stand corrected!

Cheers guys, and yeah I didn't want to sell her to start with!

 

The trip was great, even though I didn't make Walcha. I hit turbulence over the Blue Mountains and it didn't seem like it wanted to go away. Coupled with smoke from bushfires I thought it a wise idea to turn back to Bathurst, refuel, and head for home.

 

A great trip nonetheless, only regret is not being able to find my camera.
