Did you fly somewhere cool, take photos, and feel like telling the tale to make us drool from the confines of our offices? Post them up!

Aussie flying - show and tell

Hopefully this is in the right department! :)

I'll start off with a couple of videos and photos and will add to it as time permits. If any of you have anything get it in here and tell us your tale! :)

Here is a first video, sorry about the strange camera angle, but I just quickly stuck it on and pushed record! It's a Rans S7, a friend bought one and wanted to see what I thought of it, so I took it for a solo run for a half hour or so, and played around with different settings to see how it handled, very impressive aeroplane! So light on the controls and easy to fly, easy to land too, which is quite remarkable. It's flying from my friends place out in the sticks at a place called Tara, not a real flash place by any stretch of the imagination, but the airstrip and hanger is aviation heaven! :D

This video is a pretty terrible one as I only used an old camera, which didn't really like doing the job at all! Anyway it shows you a bit of rear view from a Drifter SB582, I have the camera rubber mounted so it wobbles a bit, especially when I stall. Notice the tail shake in a stall!

This is a little bit longer video, the first half shows aircraft arriving to a fly-in at a place called "Watts Bridge", then I do an inflight video of me flying to Toowoomba. Hope you enjoy. Watch in HD :)

This is a quick video of when I flew from Dalby (Qld) to Richmond (Qld) via Longreach for fuel. Round trip of about 1300nm from memory. There isn't a lot out there! Just starting to touch onto Outback Qld.

That's probably enough video for the time being... I'll see if I can get this photo embed thing to work!

This is my neighbourhood, the Darling Downs - Qld

Seven days without flying, makes one weak.
