Storching about

Well alot of other people are starting there own threads, Id thought Id do the same.

Ill start off with some footage from a great day out I had on Saturday. I run a face book group promoting bush flying here in Australia. we just had our first birthday this weekend and had a little fly in barbecue. First video below is the video of the day I put together for the group but the second is just a collection of raw footage I spliced together to some nice music for my own enjoyment, thought you guys might like it to!

Re: Storching about

Nice videos. Thanks for sharing them. Neat to see what the areas you fly look like, and to see the Storch in action. Keep 'em coming.

Do you have to watch out for Wombat holes, with the 8.00(?) tires?

Re: Storching about

Thanks mate, I'll let you know if I'm down that way. I get back there a fair bit, took a PC-12 to Redcliffe a couple weeks ago via OOL, be back there next month to pick it up

Tiboburra's not too far south from my old haunts... Nice country. Here's a pic for you...

Stop trying to get this thread back on track with your hard-won Stork pictures! [Ok... I'll shut up now.] :D #-o

I note all those Storches have Hoerner wingtips... hint hint.

By the way, those 31" bushwheels arrive on Thursday. I'll need to get your approval on Form 2173.
