So here we are in Gulgong. It's a pretty little town 3 hours drive NE from Sydney. The airstrip is 5km north of town.
Day one of the
Classic was cancelled due to strong and gusty winds, so here we are on day 2 (monday). The task was 207km dogleg to the north. There was a crosswing of 15mph which made it quite challenging. Only Jonny and Curt made goal. A few came close and I sankout after 167km, about 5 hours in the air.
Mr Redbull setting up his glider in the shade day3. The wind has switched to the east and a 100km task was called to the west of Wellington. Jonny won the day again. I made goal but took a much longer time.
Guido from Austria dropped by on a flying visit. He is on his way to Fiji from Austria, delivering this Kingair 200.
Guido running a few routine checks after landing.
This is Blay - a pilot from Spain, we are flying as Team Nungra.
Well two days in and my arms are tired, and my nose cone split by a Wedgetail Eagle that attacked yesterday ! The whole glider shook and dropped when it hit. An exciting introduction to flying in Oz.
