tim_A Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Somehow I always seem to end up in a grass strip, perched precariously on the edge of a precipice... [img width=1160 height=374]http://img42.imageshack.us/img42/1667/ta276.jpg Bit of a squirrely departure which, fortunately, you didn't need to see! [img width=1160 height=374]http://img266.imageshack.us/img266/499/ta279.jpg Weather's a bit mucky today! [img width=1160 height=374]http://img683.imageshack.us/img683/4985/ta287.jpg Would I deliberately keep the heating turned up inside the plane? You betcha! [img width=1160 height=374]http://img843.imageshack.us/img843/1527/ta295.jpg We're heading back towards the coast, crossing the Hawkesbury River [img width=1160 height=374]http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/5910/ta296.jpg The view across to broken Bay. It's stopped raining now. [img width=1160 height=374]http://img404.imageshack.us/img404/7451/ta302.jpg Here's the strip. It's right by the Sydney-Newcastle Freeway, which makes it easy to find.

Dean (PC Aviator) Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Again another excellent report. I'm loving them. Keep it up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek McAllan Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Another great set Tim. You sure that's the runway in pic 2? Looks like you might've landed on the fairway of a nice long par 5 at the local golf course! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim_A Posted October 4, 2010 Author Share Posted October 4, 2010 Yup. It's classed as an 'Emergency landing strip', which doesn't necessarily mean you won't find the odd golf ball coming your way...! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
