This afternoon, after day of hard yakka, I went to see my neighbours, Rodney and Patricia (Trish ) Albert, I mentioned flying and Rodney said Trish had been talking about wanting to go for a fly, so I said, "I rather do it than talk about it, so let`s go". This was Trish`s third fly with me! The view from 4,500 feet AMSL, with Bramston Beach, below. With the Sun going down behind Mt Bellenden Ker, it was time to get back home!... Yet another magic carpet ride!!! Frank.

Sam! Frank.

G`Day Wayne, You`re absolutely right! I`d have to modify it!

Yeah! I`m tempted! but I`m not ready to scrap mine and ones enough to look after when Cyclone and wet season comes around.

In that case, just for you ! here`s what happened recently! This is Lynda Gregg, one of our local`s and this was Lynda`s second flight with me. Mark, Lynda`s husband and Trike pilot, has flown with me also...This year we`ve actually been getting what us northerners` call a winter so being rugged up was the order of the day. I`ve copied from my facebook timeline and pasted! Lynda posted, " I received a kind invitation from Franco to go flying this morning, and it was sublime, thanks Franco. This is Patricia ( Trish ) Albert, a neighbour, 2 doors up the road from home here. I took Trish`s husband, Rodney, flying with me a little while ago and since then Trish had been watching me fly...This was Trish`s first flight! Trish posted! Patricia Albert What a surprise, thank you so much for the photo Frank. After admiring 'Drifter' from the ground for so long, I never actually realised it didn't have sides! So you can imagine my surprise (or horror) when I turned up at the field. "What do I hold on to?", kept racing through my mind. At that point I asked to have my belts tightened more!! The views were stunning, in fact overwhelmingly beautiful, as the photo shows. What an absolute joyous and exhilarating experience - thank you kindly to Frank for his expert piloting. Second. On her second flight,Trish posted! Patricia Albert Thank you kindly Frank for the thrilling safe trip - what a privilege to be up high in the air close to spectacular mountains and rivers. The chill and wind factor together with perfect sunshine. This is Aimee Hind. Aimee`s father and two of her brother`s, have flown with me in the past. Aimee`s father, Marty, wrote on my fb timeline! Marty Hind Thanks Frank for taking Aimee much appreciated. Franco ( Frank ) Ps, I always ask for permission to take photos of those I take flying and permission to post them here and on facebook...As I fly regularly and have a spare back seat, I don`t charge but I do sometimes accept money towards the running costs, if it`s offered.

At this time, Yes! You`re welcome! just let me know in advance. Crazy gardeners welcome also. Frank.
