VH-KDK Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 First part of a round the world trip in Ant's Eaglet. 1.Here we are about to set off from Penfield just north of Melbourne. 2.Full tanks for a long haul. One passenger and luggage for our long trip. 3.Up and away, the Eaglet struggling for height packed to it's limit. 4.Reaching cruising altitude. 5.Now descending into Riddle's Creek for our first stop on our epic journey. 6.A safe landing, first of many. 7.Plenty of great detail in these OZx airports. 8.Parked up for the night. After such a long first leg and plenty of flying ahead a good nights sleep is vital. Flight log Distance covered 2,600 metresTime airborne 1minute 53 seconds. Nah...... this will take years at this rate. 9.Just kidding. As you can see the end of the runway at Penfield with Riddle's Creek just above the nose. Two OZx airports very close together!
