When I was arriving in Perth I saw a DC3, I remember back to the Classic Wings DC3. Last night I saw heard an aircraft flying over the city (I was out riverside looking at the buildings, I am on the other side of the Swan to the city) and looking up I saw a twin engined aircrafts Silhouette with slow flashing beacons and thought, that has to be a DC3! So, a Question, does Classic wings do night tours of the city or summin?

Very hard not to recognise those two radials, a lovely sound [smilie=x_dreaming.gif] Classic Wings is the only DC-3 operating in WA.

Thankyou for the replies. Yes, the sound of round certainly is a glourious thing. But I am a new age brother, I prefer the roar of a jet engine :P

Go stand in a corner you two!

 

There is almost nothing better than the SOUND OF ROUND.

 

Maybe its time for a vote on this, jets or round?

Just got back from Perth at 5:30 this morning after ten days of re-bonding with CWS. (More photos and video)

 

Went for the three standard flights while I was there. The sixty minute joyflight over Perth and environs just after lunch on Saturday, the Dinner flight where we took off before sunset and landed after dark and had a sumptuous meal served on beaut big china plates with the golden cutlery (no pre sets all dished out aboard to the size and choice you want), and the Sunday day tour of the Busselton area's wineries, cheese and Chocky factories and lunch at the lavender farm. Margaret River hasn't a suitable runway and we were touring between Busselton and Margaret River anyway.

 

All passengers were extremely wrapt at the freedom to enjoy themselves and the pampering they got on the flight... not treated like cattle but part of a group of mates there to enjoy each other's company.

 

Got lots of vieeo footage of the flights to make DVDs for the passengers... more sound of round Chainy!

 

for tosoe who hear round engines ... there's a beech 18 there too, but the Pratts have their own distinctive note.

 

The Saturday Scenic orbits Perth both ways and does a 500 foot run up the beach so the people at the beach get a good look at the old lady ambling past.

 

They gave one Pax who's birthday it was, a cake with a large picture of the aircraft on the icing. He reckoned he can die happy any time now after the experience. Hard toi cut the cake as it's a great photo you cut and eat.

 

I'll post some photos tomorow when I'm less tired.
