A Great Morning out

[NWpilot]

G'day All,

 

Just want to share my mornings flight with you all,

 

I lined up a mate to take him out for a fly in VH-ESQ C-172 up here in Karratha.

 

We got to the airport, filled out the paper work and we were away, what a fantastic morning it was, we initially climbed up to 3500ft so he could see the general area and the lay of the land. we then headed SW down the coast I sat him right ontop of the coast line so he could see the crystal blue water. He was the air was like silk.

 

around 2500 it was a little bumpy and he seemed a bit nervous, so i continued to show him that the A/C can glide with no power. He was beside him self that an A/C could actually glide when the engine was just idling .

 

we droped in and did a fly by of the grey nomads out at 40mile. flew across to the small mining camp on the highway then tracked back to YPKA. There was quite a few A/C in the area from RPT to Kingairs to Choppers.

 

Came in on a good final, arrived once and landed once.

 

taxied back to the tie down point and shut the old girl down.

 

WHat a fantasic flight we had this morning, I got to spend time up there in the big blue and he got over his fear of flying (actually his fear of falling if the big fan stops)

 

I hope you all had a day as good as i did.
