Piet Fil Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 As I was driving north along the Monaro Hwy on my way back from flying out of Cooma this morning, I passed a car towing a plane on the trailer. The plane was yellow and looked like a Grega GN-1 air camper or a Pietenpol Air Camper (possibly 19-3566?). Does any one know who it was or where the plane was headed? I ask as I am building a Pietenpol Air Camper myself and am extremely curious when I see what i think is one in my part of the country.

webbm Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 That would have been a fun sighting. Off topic, but how was Cooma today? I was going drive down there for a flight this weekend... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damkia Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Quicker to drive it from airport to airport than fly it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piet Fil Posted January 5, 2013 Author Share Posted January 5, 2013 Webbm, Cooma was good, I took a mate for a flight over his house at Jindabyne and then headed up crackenback valley over Thredbo, then round Kosciuszko, over Guthega and back to Polo Flat. Got a little bumpy as we descended back to Polo Flat but not too bad. At least it was cooler at 8500' rather than on the ground! Damkia, I'm hearing you, they are a low and slow aircraft after all.

dodo Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Yellow wings and blue body? BMW motor? Might have been built by Mike at Tumut dodo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piet Fil Posted January 5, 2013 Author Share Posted January 5, 2013 Dodo, Thanks but it was Yellow wings and Yellow body, thats why I thought it may have been 19-3566, but it was for sale in Caboolture QLD. That would make for a long road trip. Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Crezzi Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 I believe the YCAB one was recently sold to a guy from Vic Cheers John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crashley Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 yellow pietenpol seen near latrobe valley today on a trailer is that the one you saw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piet Fil Posted January 6, 2013 Author Share Posted January 6, 2013 That was most probably the one, he must have headed south through Cooma then Bombala to Vic. Anyone know the name of the purchaser? or the home airfield in the Latrobe Valley? Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
