Ah yes, the PA 28-140. `Fond` memories of one such aircraft, VH-RRU (otherwise known as Rocket Romeo Uniform.
)
Did all my PPl training and the early part of my CPL in that particular machine!
The rest of the CPL was done in a Seneca 1 (VH-MEP
)
Seriously; RRU was a good training aircraft. And if you could land one smoothly you were doing well.
However, climbing out of RW 26 at Waikerie on a 40C+ day did make for a bit of a pucker factor!
RW 02 was worse though!
