Admin Posted December 9, 2013 Posted December 9, 2013 Doesn't anyone fly any more? Go on, tell us about your last flight...even if it is only circuits...let's get some threads and posts started about our last flight, what did you do, what did you see, what was it like...tell us all so we can envy even just a minute in the air............... 2 1
dazza 38 Posted December 9, 2013 Posted December 9, 2013 My last flight was from Boonah to the Gold Coast a few weeks ago. Being a FIFO worker means that I have to go for a few weeks between flights.
M61A1 Posted December 9, 2013 Posted December 9, 2013 Last flight was Sunday week ago.... 0.6 hr test flight, air testing a new Sigtronics intercom. After finding the intercom adequate (just), then a few steep turns in both directions, power on and off stalls, a touch and go, a steep sideslip in for a greaser full stop. Packed the Drifter back in it's trailer, where it's sat for the last week due to lack of fuel.
rgmwa Posted December 9, 2013 Posted December 9, 2013 Took my 11 year old grandson flying for the first time. Couldn't wipe the grin off his face. rgmwa 5 1 1

skeptic36 Posted December 9, 2013 Posted December 9, 2013 17 November , frustrated by a lack of air time recently, I pushed the trike out for an evening cruise around the local area. Didn't expect anything spectacular, so didn't take the camera. Late in the flight a beautiful full moon rose over the bush to the east in an amazing purple sky. You guys can only imagine what a picture it would have been. I have it etched in my memory Regards Bill 1
mothra Posted December 9, 2013 Posted December 9, 2013 After two months grounded due to work I thought a circuit session was in order yesterday. Two shockers in a row first up and I was asking myself what Im doing up here, greased the next few and I was over that and planning a pre Xmas cross country.
metalman Posted December 9, 2013 Posted December 9, 2013 Friday 6 nov, got the the field about 1730 ( I love daylight saving) ,took off and went for a wander over king lake for a look, then headed over to Yan Yean reservoir , called up Melbourne centre to get a check on my new TXP , then over to Lilydale to see if a mate was still working late, then back to YCEM for a bit of a crosswind landing, all up about an hour , not sure what the boring people were doing but I love being able to do this after work Matty
Mick Posted December 9, 2013 Posted December 9, 2013 Great idea Ian, remember when this was what the forum was all about? My last "flight" was Gladstone to Temora for the Warbirds Downunder airshow. Great show, warbirds galore as you would expect. Grand finale was a formation of Mustang, 2 x Spitfires, Meteor, Sabre & FA-18. Also fitted in catching up with several friends & a baked dinner at Mum's place. 15.4 hours of flying in the Skylark over 7 legs & not one headwind. For me, flying does not get much better than this.

Flew her back to Bundy with a small detour to the west to look over our property (32 acres) which has just had some tree surgery. She is now sitting in the hangar waiting her next outing. 1
