Did some more flying this weekend in good ole US of A.
Went to a flying at Peachtree Georgia and had a ball. Flew down in a friends B55 baron and then at the end of the day he was kind enough to let me take his Cub for a fly around the park (and up the river and over the forest!). I had never flown a cub before and I weigh 240lbs and he is 6ft 4 and weighs 290lbs so the poor old 65HP just wouldn't cut it so he let me loose by myself. As I said the American Pilots I have met are simply the nicest and most generous of any I have met.
Anyway here is a few photos.
Enjoy.
Absolutely beautiful Curtis Robin.
Met a guy who owns a C195 (not this one) and if I had have been able to stay an extra day, could have got checked out in it for a bottle of Aussie wine!
And from the Cub, nearly at Oxygen height!
Baron not too badly equipped!
Baron and Cub owner's home field.
I must say the Cub is everything everyone says it is (good and bad!) Most fun I have had flying whilst I have been in the US. If anyone knows of a Cub project going back in Australia please PM me (and yes I am serious). Will be the perfect aircraft to rebuild in time to teach my girls to fly!
Cheers
