VH-KDK Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 A pleasant late afternoon flight along the Mid Western Highway out of Bathurst. 1. Lift off from Bathurst. 2. Passing an XPT train at South Bathurst. 3. Across the town. 4. Mount Panorama circuit when we first noticed a rattle from the cockpit. 5. Following the A41 Mid Western Highway 6. Some of the beautiful Central West NSW countryside, that rattle is annoying. 7. Carcoar Lake is approaching as we descend. 8. Blayney Airfarmers is our destination with that annoying noise persisting. 9. My best ever chopper landing after several years of trying! 10. A peaceful evening but there is work to do on the chopper. 11. We just cant figure what the rattle is in the chopper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulb Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Well done Martyn! Another great flight and narrative. Your video reminds me of my wife - always talking about odd noises in her car. Nowadays I just look in the glovebox or the trinket tray to find the culprit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the opposite one day driving down to Melbourne when the car was too quiet. A Highway Patrol car stopped me and asked if I realised my wife had fallen out of the car 15km back. I said, "thank goodness for that, I thought I had gone deaf." Yeah it's an old one but there may be someone who has been on planet Mars for the last 50 years!

Sniper31 Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 A very nice Huey flight Martyn, and some great comedy added in at the end for good measure....some very pleasant screenshots over the Australian countryside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Sawyer Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 First, I loved your chopper Martyn, then the scenery and narrative was excellent, loved it too. Is there a train there that move? Never noticed it. But that video, been there done that, not to his extent but don't ask me how I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It appears the XPT is static and it is the first time I have seen it too, I haven't been to Bathurst much. Always liked that ad, can you imagine it!
