Meteor/Crater

Recommended Posts

Where else to go for a shake down in the Meteor than with a flight in the RAAF Meteorites-aerobatic team livery to Wolfe Creek crater in WA?

 

Waypoint in sight, so it's time to go down closer for a look-see

...how does it go.

I just hope your flying is good enough not to make any craters with your Meteor!

 

It flies quite nicely - if you watch your speeds! (it was used as aplane for several aerobatic troupes, after all). Get too fast and the snaking starts (just like the real one, as I read up later on). But I've almost never before made such perfect landings as in this plane. Point it where you want to land and it will get you there like it's running on rails. Just a bit of playing with the throttles necessary... So much for not making craters :D

 

Cheers
