Stillwater Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 The wealthy tourists can do things like these... https://www.uluru.com/activities/Uluru_Scenic_Flights.html, we have to make this in virtual. But this is also some kind of pleasure... A good preparation is essential. That looks like a plan: And off we go froom Conellan over Yulara... ... with Kata Tjuta in view... ... and Uluru. Starting the round @ 4000 ft. ..., ... climbing to 4500 as required. Moving over... ... and descending to 4000 again before flying back to the airport. Difficult to land with such a view! With my kids this tour would be about 1200 AUD. Better buy a plane at these rates! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingleaf Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Wow Gerold amazing shots. What a great tour. Crisp and clear. I wish I could afford a tour like this but there is "too much month left at the end of my money". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sniper31 Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Very cool way to do this screenshot tour Gerold, I liked I would love to some day visit that area for real. It's on the bucket list, but then alas, the bucket list is long...well, in the meantime, there are virtual tours like this one you did! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VH-KDK Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Those are the best images I can remember seeing of Ayres Rock and The Olgas Gerold. Beautiful colours and details in your set. I am lucky to have done this flight in Cessna 207 VH-UAA in 1983 but that was from the old dirt strip next to Ayres Rock. It was my first GA flight and it was extremely turbulent and not many of the people on the bus trip enjoyed the flight too much, myself included! We climbed Ayres Rock too on a boiling hot morning. A fantastic experience and holiday that I still remember to this day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulb Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Super shots there Gerold. It is amazing to see those rocks in such a flat area. Gosh 1200 AUD! Still, it must be a fantastic experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There would be a lot of month left with the amount these guys charge, maybe ask for a credit first. 19 hours ago, Sniper31 said: Very cool way to do this screenshot tour Gerold, I liked I would love to some day visit that area for real.

I am fully with you, there are some iconic places on this planet to visit someday, and the list does not get much shorter with the travels we can afford or the unsecurity growing in some regions. 19 hours ago, Jack Sawyer said: Some of your best Gerold!

And your statement about still remembering it may be the reason why they charge so much. 5 hours ago, paulb said: Super shots there Gerold. It is amazing to see those rocks in such a flat area.

Those guys are crazy... 1 minute ago, teecee said: Great flight Gerold.. Magical scenery.. Your post brings back happy memories for me..Teecee. Thanks you for watching and commenting, Terry.
