Hey guys, one of Dave's buddies from his home area has posted a clip from the Ten news spot on to Trikepilot.com showing the rest of the trike community overseas whats been happening in and around here, great to see.....Eric

The Ten news guys got it so much better than 7 good on them, i always watch Master Chef, Ten have got better line on things at times lol....

yep caught it on 7 news in Sydney, great to see Hans and of course Dick Smith, and the way he described the trip, it's been our thoughts all along, the only disappointment was the way Chris Bath said that he flew a wheel chair or likened his trike to a motor mower with a wing, but i was really happy to see that someone at least recognised what a great trip and what a remarkable man, i will endeavour to let all from Newcastle know is he's up for a meal depends on the notice we get, he does seem to do things spontaneously and when the weather and permits are ok....Eric

Well done mate....Eric

Ian, that's great to hear, depending on when Dave is heading back Newcastle way i may be able to get some more video but due that dammdable thing called work if he does it this afternoon then i will miss out if tomorrow should be ok, i will keep my fingers crossed he decides to stay in Sydney at least one night....Eric

Hey Doug, might be a codec problem, definitely sound there for you, may be internal computer, pop over to youtube you may find it easy.....Eric

Cool Don, will keep you posted as well Eric

Just a side note for you, anybody that is in the Newcastle area, we have left word with the guys here that are taking care of Dave while in the area, it may be a bit of very late notice but he may be able to do a get together with some people for a meal and drink, but we will not know until late so will keep you apprised.....Eric

Thanks guys, I appreciate it

That's like them saying i don't mind you going flying we can do something for my birthday another time, DO THEY REALLY MEAN IT?

Oh thanks for the kind words about the photos and vid, hope to get a bit more when he does his last bit in next few days or so..

I did mention he had a few people watching, i think he was a little tired to take it all completely in.....Eric

Hey managed to get the small vid up under trikes in the video area, not a greta one but hope it is ok.....Eric

Did actually, but as i mentioned he is quite a remarkable guy, seemed quite humble but was happy even after his trip today to pose for a photo and just have a yap, i hope everyone likes the photos it was a bit of a rush so i apologise that i did not get more, also will have that small vid up shortly as well it is not great quality as the camera is not my usual, so i again hope that everyone like it, it is brief but i am hoping to catch up with him over the latter part of the week and get something better.....Eric

Hey all, well i did get there just after he landed so didn't get anything of him in sky but there is a hope to get some footage over next few days the word from the man is he is going possibly Thursday or Friday to Bankstown he may or may not land but definitely wants to fly through and then return to Wallsair, I am arranging with the guys from there to be around with a slightly better camera to get some of that footage, I did get to meet him and have a quick yap, he was tired but happy and quite friendly, i am attaching a few photos and i am going to pop a short vid up of him discussing the trip in short with Jeff Blunt one of the Gyro pilots from Wallsair, remarkable guy and a pleasure to meet, note in one of the photos with me beer already in hand supplied by Rob from Airborne, they are going to organise to pack the bird for it's return trip FOC and also try and get a freight company on board to sponsor it's return, there was only the three of us on site to meet him, dam shame about the press around here at times.

I have been watching same as you guys, i wonder if he know as you say how many people are watching over him, I fly out of Maitland and if i get an idea that's where he is heading i am in a car with a camera, and only 10mins away from Wallsend so on my way there as well.....Eric

know what you mean.....

I think there is a lag of about 4 to 5 minutes so by the time a spot comes up he's 5mins further down the track....

He's off again, heading out of Dubbo, lets keep the fingers crossed that he gets further this time around.....

Looks like he's off and running again this morning left Dubbo 7.24am, have to see what weather brings....Eric

.....hair out of place and some of his clothing was a bit askew..........

Those Kruza look cool, I have a couple mates into Gyros i am sure they would love them.....Eric

A pilot coming up to the back door of a C-130 to have some photos taken. He radios how close do you want me to get. Very cool flying

Yep looks like weather has him at Dubbo for a short while, poor bloke this last couple legs is gonna seem like forever, will be at his final leg some sort of camera going so hopefully will get something to pop on here when he gets to that Newcastle final.. Eric
