I've been tracking CSN305, China Southern Airlines Airbus A330, out of Guangzhou en route to Auckland, earlier I was watching CSN386 from Tokyo Narita to Guangzhou.
Just staring at one plane icon on the screen palls quickly, even when bringing a pretty Russian woman ever closer to me :P
So I went browsing around to see what else was around on doing laps.
ZK-DMW from the North Shore Aero Club seems to be doing cross-country training.
Over by Melbourne, VH-ITK has done a bunch of looping circuts of some place near Morrabin, and a long cross country hop, VH-OIS must be training, no cross country, just round and round again through the circuit. 24-7979 is having fun buzzing over to Rythdale and back, and is currently headed to Seaford on the coast...
Over to the west, VH-WHQ has given up curcuits and has struck off to the SES, long straight tracj like he/she has a destination in mind rather than a scenic meander like VH-NRA further west over some place called Lethbridge.
Interesting spying on others off for their flights...
It's a reasonable day for flying here looking outside, and once Ms FromRussiaWithLove flies home in a couple of weeks I'll be selling the car I picked up cheap for her to use while here so not to be nailed down by bus schedules while I work, and taking the money down to the Rangitata island aerodrome to join the Geraldine Flying Group and my first training flights there.
