I got scared off when I opened the thread and saw Darren's hairy leg there.

 

 

[Guest Fred Bear]

Ha ha ha. Enough to scare anyone mate Maybe I'll have some good ones on this trip. :)

 

 

[Ross]

Better legs?

 

 

[Guest Fred Bear]

Ha ha ha. Maybe maybe. A little bit more sun and anything could happen. In Dubbo now.

Hi Darren

 

Can you see the Warrumbungles from Dubbo at about 1500 AGL. I think I used to see them from Narromine at about that height many years ago.

 

Enjoy your trip

Nice pics Sunny! :) I believe Wally had something to do with that Thruster I flew in out at Lightning Ridge.

 

 

[Ultralights]

I LOVE that first shot of the drifter! the expression of the pilot says it all!

 

On another note, whats the story with the penrite oils sponsership?

"on another note, whats the story with the penrite oils sponsership?"

 

This was already on there when Sunny bought it off the previous owner as far as I am aware.

Well another month has come to a close in the great competition.

 

For a time when the weather is getting better I would have thought there would have been a lot more entries for this month - a big THANKYOU to those that have entered and I wish you all good luck.

 

 

[Guest Fred Bear]

Well Ian, we need to do more flying and have less wind in order to bring you more shots!! Ha ha ;) Hopefully clearer and calmer skies ahead :)

Some of us need airplanes

Sorry for the delay in announcing the winner for this month of the next 3 editions of Australian Flying.

 

The winner as judged by Shelley - the editor of Australian Flying is:

 

Sept: Photographer: drifter driver, for his series on "Low passes at The Oakes - anxious Wally". Right out of the classics

 

- I love shots that put an instant smile on your face.

 

Well done Sunny
