Daniels first flight in T2-2473

Daniels first flight in T2-2473

One of the best flying days in Bendigo for weeks. I managed almost an hour in the morning in beautiful sunshine, not much wind, 4 to 6 knot northerly and a balmy 11 degrees.



The afternoon was overcast and a weather cell approaching from the west looked threatening, but once in the air it was quite apparent that it was not a threat to our flight. We proceeded to fly out to Lake Eppalock after a quick (in a trike?) tour of the city and the first look at the new house from the air.

Had a play with the jet skis and caught up with Julie and the girls (from the air) who were at a girls weekend at a camp (no, not tents) on the shores of the lake. Starting to get a bit cold so headed back to Bendigo via the Fosterville gold mine. Very interesting from the air.

The wind dropped of to nothing by the time we got back to the airport. So nice, I had to go around and tackle another landing in smooth cool air and nil wind, 2473 just settled onto the ground making me look like a pro!

Apart from his long legs having no where to go (and the cold wind), Dan enjoyed his flight.
