My Flight Today

[Guest Glenn]

Flying today started with me in the front right seat of a 172 flying 3 circuits. When we came back in the owner fo the plane kicked me out of the front to the rear left seat where I had my camera and went for a ride out over Wyangala Dam to see how low it is.

 

The day ended with some photos of Tom Moon in his Extra 300S as he was heading off to Temora.

 

Photos below. Conditions were quite hazy and slightly overcast

 

Darbys Falls. A small village located half way between Cowra and Wyangala Dam

 

 

The now 3.9% full Wyangala Dam with the main camping area and water slides in the bottom of the picture

 

 

Looking back towards the wall and the spillway

 

 

The spillway. We are being watched by 4 people. Jealous? :twisted:

 

 

An overall look at the wall that you can actually drive over and the spillway

 

 

Nearly home. On base leg for runway 15

Some awesome shots there! Makes you wonder if the dam will ever be full agian.

 

I wish the runway at my airfield was tarmac! So easy to see!!

 

 

[Guest Glenn]

Not sure how many, but my aerial photos of the dam will be published in our local newspaper on Wednesday.

 

Now that I am trying to get into photography more I have edited my first photo in photoshop. I know it's nothing special because I wasn't close enough to the plane even with my zoom. But I'm glad that I was able to do a little something better with it.

Some realy good shots Glenn. What was the Rego?

 

 

[Guest Glenn]

VH-NIS is the rego of the aerobatic plane. Tom is the guy who flys at Temora every month and puts on a display. I see him quite a bit here in Cowra.

 

Rego of the 172 is VH-RUD

NIce pics Glenn.

 

Good to see you getting some use from your new toy :)

 

 

[Guest Glenn]

Just have to learn to drive it.

 

3 of my photos made the paper. You can view one here http://cowra.yourguide.com.au/detail.as ... ry=general They seem to have edited it a bit.

 

 

[Guest Chainsaw]

Wow! you are now famous Glenn.

 

Just keep taking photos, that's the best way to get to know the machine.

 

 

[Guest Darren Masters]

Well done Glenn and thanks for sharing.

Me thinks we will have to have a Get Together so Glenn can use his new toy a bit more. Say when Singapore Airlines brings the A380 into Sydney later this Year?

 

 

[Guest Glenn]

Sounds like a plan.

Went out over the dam again and got some much better shots. I'll post some up later on :)
