A Day Flying At Te Kowhai

[Guest Darren Masters]

As mentioned in a previous thread, dusted the cobwebs off day before yesterday and went up and flew my machine. Always so much fun and something that you miss so much when you have not flown in a while. Was the perfect Waikato morning. Annual inspection done, some fuel in the tank then off for a fly. A freedom that most would only dream of and I always love every second of it. I live and breathe this open-air stuff. Although no air shots this time (always scared to take my i-Phone out of my flying suit) this will give you a feel on the ground.

 

NOTE: All i-Phone pics.

 

So calm in the morning the balloons are out:

 

 

 

A balloon visits for some envelope repairs after meeting a tree branch (Australian Eucalypt none the less):

 

 

 

Good night to my plane and Te Kowhai Airfield after a fantastic day:
