    Its been awhile since i have written a post in here - might have to start changing this. . My last flight was a trip in a JAB230D - from YORG to YTRE ( 30Mar 18) - i have been working in Bathurst for REX as a ground handler and not been home for 4 weeks, i didn't fancy the terrible long trip, delays from traffic etc. Luckily a mate had a JAB for hire - an easy under 2-hour flight, smooth as can be and a tailwind. I was happy to be on the ground in Taree - Good Friday by 1030am. Spent 2 days relaxing with family to fly back on Easter Sunday - again smooth conditions and 2 hour flight time. Since moving to Taree i don't do anywhere as much flying as I did when working as an instructor in Bathurst with Central West Flying . I take the option of going for a buzz as much as possible when i get a chance. See image of Lake Saint claire park on way back Sunday.

    A laugh at some of the comments here.. - i interviewed Mike and filmed for prime news (and some vision from nine was mine ) when he was out of hospital . He was a character i will say and a nice guy , so lucky to survive. I put Mike up in my house for a few days with his dog - he spent a few days cleaning his plane from the crap which was inside. Let me say , it stank too. Glad to see he survived. on another note, i actually talked to Mike In mudgee on xmas day as he was refuelling his plane, i had flown over myself for lunch with friend . Approx 115pm i get phone calls asking if i was ok - people had known i was in mudgee wondered if it was me and was i safe back in Bx . ! Shocked to hear this had happened and when i arrived back in bhs - to see photos of said plane and i had talked to mike . I had seen another eagle approx 15 miles south of Mudgee on way back . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uY1wdD49Bl8 - Prime news footage - all my vision from the Sunday after he was released from Hospital . well done Mike for keeping it calm and living through ordeal .
