fly_tornado Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 First RAA plane under the harbour bridge? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
River Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 First RAA plane under the harbour bridge? That's been done, a couple of years back in a Gazelle. Authorities were not impressed! As an sideline my great grandfather was the first to fly under the 'Coat Hanger' way back just after it was officially opened in a Gyspy Moth, strangely again the authorities were not impressed then neither. That's him in my avatar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metalman Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 I was keen on a PA20 Pacer a few years ago that was rumoured to have flown under the Westgate bridge in melbourne, as for firsts I can't think of any that haven't been done before, but there is always the FIRST for me,,,I've always wanted to fly an open biplane from the US to OZ via Russia, then there's the London to Sydney race,not sure if it's still going but it would be a great trip, I'm also hoping to do the NZ crossing when the RV is done,,,so although I wont be setting world records I will be setting Matty records Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DGL Fox Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 I've always wanted to fly an open biplane from the US to OZ via Russia Yes that would be great MM2, they have done those sorts of trips on motor bikes like Ewan Mcgregor and the like, love to do something like that, you would need a lot of preparation to travel through the likes of Russia, my wife is Russian and I have been there a few times so I know what they are like with their paperwork...geeezzzzz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
