Can we please stick to the topic TELL US ABOUT YOUR LAST FLIGHT. There are other places for people to argue about politics.

 ... TELL US ABOUT YOUR LAST FLIGHT  ...

 

Okay, then.

 

My last flight was absolutely fabulous; chief passenger aboard the trusty thrusty of our (above-mentioned) aviator mate, Thruster88.

 

On Saturday, we rose up, elevator style, from the plane's home dirt near Gooloogong, NSW, . We were on a mission to check out the new farm strip of a mutual friend 25 miles distant..  ('An ideal sector length for type', said the captain.  I could see what he meant given that the cabin heat and seat warmers seemed to be broken ;- )  Our T88 sure loves this long time ride of his, this original blue rag n' tuber.  And he knows exactly how to be as one with her; sensitive to her every tendency.  He might have been a bird in another life.  In any case, he's keen to spread the good news through the entire shire.  He's notched up a good half-dozen Thruster converts within a 50 mile radius, that is, within a half a day's flying in type.  (Ha, ha ... just kidding!!  It goes faster with a breeze at its back. Heck, there were even some slow trucks we could keep up with!)  And finally, it was back to the X-rated Gooloogong pub for a hamburger, customary for these flighty excursions.  All in all, a great morning up and away over the Lachlan!  And a reminder of why we, the afflicted, (still) obsess over these (still) amazing flying machines.

 

Thanks again, Stuart!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(P.S:  Our Thruster88, it should be noted, is also a fan of heavy metal machines like his Beech Musketeer, and that speedy, efficient, RV9A tourer of his.  Luckily, all those craft survived the tornado that tore by the homestead just a few weeks back demolishing sheds, silos etc and destroying trees all around the house).
