Guest Glenn Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 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 Now on final for runway 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Crash Lander Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 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!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Glenn Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Glenn Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Chop Chop Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
