Subject: Where the B....H.. were you on Saturday at Caboolture - all 7 flights |
| An addition
to David's excellent report on the lack of Saturday flying. |
| The first
pix is of the hive of activity [not happening] around the pie-cart when I landed
after my 3hrs 20 flight. |
| The second is
of the sky to the West at the same time. I had one run under a street
well out into the step where I went about 15K without a turn at 75-80knots struggling
to keep below 4,500. While David, Speedie and I were out in the 4,500 step
(and low hours pilots shouldn't go there till they gain experience) the day showed that
long flights are very possible at Cab. Yesterday would have been a great training
day and gaining experience day for low hours pilots. |
| The third pix
is of our new retrieve car but KRL2's wife wouldn't let it happen.. Thought
it would be great, right colour, air conditioned, radio and we had the opportunity at
the end of the day to drop a Blanik wing on it's hood to christen it but 'that didn't
happen'. |

Our
new retrieve car? Very suitable colour ... however Kevin Roden's wife
wouldn't let it happen ... after all, it is her car! (photo provided by Lindsay Mitchell). |
