Thanks Mr Thy..seems all the Austers I flew are still flying Nev

Yeah I remember a bitumen runway. Rwy 16 at Sydney Kingsford Smith . VH-AMK, with a b''dy DC-6b right up my rear. My fastest was about the same as his stall speed. Just a bit distracting. If I sent him around I might have got a fuel bill. I wonder where that plane is now? AMK... Nev

No we don't have a lot of things here that are basic common sense. Here our authorities are about control, other countries freely allow one to fully exercise the privilages of a rating, after you have amply demonstrated that you are qualified to hold and exercise those privilages of that rating.................................Maj...

Tomo,

It's probably a bit late, but you said you wanted shots of some older recreational types. I've put a few in the other thread.

Cheers,

Great shots, guys. Especially your Savannah, Ultralights!

Thank you 80kt and Escadrille - your comments are appreciated.

A worthy winner. Congratulations Andrei!

And Ultralights and Peres too, of course!
