Hello again
I went to Narrogin on the weekend for the Narrogin Flying Clubs monthly get together. There were 15 aircraft and about 40 people some from Lake Grace, Kondinin, Beverley and Northam. The Narrogin Flying Club put on a BBQ and salads for lunch for $6 (cheap feed) and they meet every third sunday of the month. Anyway time for some more pictures.

Hello to all

Well I have finally done my first cross country in my Hornet. We took of from home at 1020 hours and with an average ground speed of 62 knots we arrived in Wyalkatchem 1112 hours.
The pictures below are of the salt lakes the wild life and coming into Wylie.
The trip home was a little bit quicker averaging 65 knots ground speed. The day was rather warm it peaked out at 37 degrees Celsius and we left Wylie at 1302 hours, so I spent both flights trying to maintain altitude for those of you who have flown in the Central Wheatbelt of West Aus you all know what I mean. At one point on the trip home we were going up at 600 ft/min with plenty of nose down and the next minute you are going down at 500 ft/min nose up full throttle it is interesting flying keeps you on your toes. Any way here are a few more pics
The next lot are coming back into the home farm.
As you can all see we had a lot of fun. There is nothing quite like bush flying.
Anyway until next time
Cheers have fun, fly safe
Alan
