Heactually has washed it :big_grin: .

 

a couple of earlier jump ships from the same area. SNX from WRT

 

i found Nomads to be a great aircraft but only if you were a LAME in training and wanted to fill your 'schedule of experience' book real fast. ozzie

On the subject of Jumpships, here is a Beaver with ATTITUDE...(walleroo 605)

Done a few hours in that machine when it had the radial and hopper back in it.

That shot was taken at Temora in 92 just after it was put back in the air. this was a training camp for a team who ended up with gold at the world meet. We "found" Temora after talking to the Met guys to find the best weather for that time of year. never really heard of the place until then. we spent 5 weeks there and were adopted by the town. when AAX took off, the town would drive out to the airport. they also held some fund raising events for the team. At the time all the foundations from the old buildings were still there so i spent my spare time seaching the aerial photos locating the old tiger moth workshop and did somedigging around in my spare time. The airport was still pretty active back then with the gliding club and a bunch of active homebuilders.

 

A full time dropzonethen started andthen it became warbird city.

 

i have never come across a town like this. greatpeople, great weather great aviation. I hope that it has not lost it's friendly nature..

 

I saw AAX in the air over Warnervale last weekend. It does not seem as loud asit was. i do belive it now has a different model Garrett in it.( the old one let go a few times) this was the worst one when the primary drive sheared off and injested itself downstream. and no, i didnot prang it.

Very clever. It would help viewers if you are able to resize the pic a little smaller. Cheers, Paul

 

That's good gtblu, now we can see the pic as a whole :). Thanks PaulN

 

 

[Student Pilot]

What size would you recommend we standardize Paul?

Approaching Kiama NSW in the Trike.

 

 

 

[Ben Longden]

Nice !!!

 

If you are able to adjust the size of the piccies, 72Dpi and 15cm wide (horozontal) works well. If you have Photoshop you can save pix for web, and it simply converts from millions of colours to thousands, cutting the file size.

That's great shot Darren. There's sure is some pretty speactacular scenery along the south coast.

Hi Cecil,

 

The question of preferred pic size and format is one for Ianmate. I'm sure he'll get onto it when he's back on deck and cleaned the sand from between his toes. Ben's pretty much got the idea but some of us use other photo editing tools than Photoshop. I use CorelDraw which allows me to physically size the pic in millimetres and then compress the file size on saving while retaining 300 dpi. Seems to work alright, most of the time .

 

Cheers, Paul

Darren .

 

Nice shot that one . I do love air to ground pics with a part of the aircraft visible , gives it a real flying feel somehow .

[Guest Guest]

Looks a little like my Pic....

 

 

 

[Guest Guest]

And another...

 

 

 

[Guest Fred Bear]

Thanks for all the comments re my pic. Views from trikes are great but I really did not want to continue flying the trike. I am happy in the Bantam and lately in the Jabiru although the view out of the Bantam is much better than the Jab! Dave, you mean pics like this one below out of the Drifter I took when flying with Sunny????

Short final @ Tooradin Victoria. Usually a great place to learn crosswind landing techniques, but not today.
