Nice shots

 

I like the one with the cows. A little to the right and the chute would've looked like it was coming out of the cow :biggrin:

Great pics Darren

 

Especially like the one with the moon in it.

 

I love aerochutes too. I wish you could hire them!

 

I did go for a trial flight with Steve Conte ( I think thats his name) who owns the aerochute company. A group of them used to fly out of a property in Werribee between Geelong and Melbourne and I would see them every Tuesday morning on the way to work. I couldnt help taking a little detour one day, and next thing, there I was hanging around at 500 ft watching the cows and feeling the breeze in my face. There is really something special about sitting out in the open like that seeing the world go by.

They sure are nice to fly on Terry. It is the Conte's that manufacture the Aerochute. I can't take credit for the pics as I did not take them. A friend of mine did. There are some that I took during the weekend. Once I get my hands on them I will post the pics here.

Thanks Dave I actually sometimes hope they will keep away from aircraft :biggrin: Robbo, he does unfortunately. Everyone tells me that. The other one is a spitting image of her mum.

Be careful checking out valleys- they sometimes string powerlines across them!!Great pics!

Regards

Indeed they do. I gave the pilot a thorough walk-through of all the powerlines in that area and we also maintained contact via radio to prevent any mishaps.

Saw an aeroshute this morning just to the South of Campbelltown and tracking South following the F5 freeway it appeared ... Made a lovely sight , pity I was driving , otherwise I would have given the pilot a wave ..
