Memories

I can remember,

1/ The no hands circuits in VH- KIR (smallest A/C on the field),
2/ Strong northerly winds and attempting to landing within the length of the piano keys,
3/ The change of circuit direction in GAAP operations - total Kaos,
4/ The grumpy old refueler at Tysons,
5/ The flat spinning Tomahawks,
6/ One Tomahawk that came back form Tooradin on a truck, excellent engine after T/O take over by the instructor. The A/C owner also owned a Chinese Restaurant and wasn't too impressed, taxation lerk lost.
7/ Doing practice forced field landings to zot feet, and narrowly missing the sheep.
8/ Afternoon gaunts to Philip Island for a dip and T/O before sun set?????
