VH-KDK Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 After getting clearance to take off from Brätwurst we are making the short flight to YWOL Wollongong. Previously:- 1. Finally leaving Bathurst. 2. Eugene Street, Raglan with Bathurst town to the left. 3. Some snow around the Vulcan State Forest. 4. The southern end of Lake Burragorang in the Lower Blue Mountains. 5. The Hume Hwy at Yerrinbool 6. Lake Nepean. 7. Dropping down the Illawarra Escarpment over Dapto. 8. Approaching YWOL, still a little high after being distracted by the flap motors still running on full flap. 9. Once a big airliner the Constellation now looks very small next to the 744. 10. Feeling old as not too long ago the 744 was the front line equipment of so many airlines. Hope you enjoyed the flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stillwater Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 I love the 744 on display. As much as I was confused by #3 - I just don´t connect Australia with this white material on the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One pic looks cold, the next one looks hot again! Cheers Lars and many people are surprised by both the snow and the cold. There are many instances where people become lost in the mountains in winter and succumb to the cold. There were also avalanche warnings a few weeks ago in the ski areas warning people to remain on the marked trails for safety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
