I'm guessing THAT is the definition of a 1-way strip!

Corky
ahhhhh that triggered something - the Fox Neve.

Here's a couple more from the coast
 

Niiiice shots there pitter patter. Some nice blue sky days on the coast...funny how I dont remember it always like that!

Cheers dixon :ok:

ah, yes. There's nothing like it.
A great day on the coast is pretty spectacular. Need to get over there more often.
Chocolate fish for the locations:ok:

that'll be the chocolate fish to you then Corky. 'fraid you boys are out of my league now!!
I know both Martins Bay and the Kaipo from above only, not as intimatly as you blokes.

As an aside, you blokes got me gee'd up and I had a poke about on google earth (amazing stuff), but saw quite big a strip thats not immediately obvious as to why its there. Its looks like its on a ridge somewhere between the head of the Pyke and what I think is the Gorge River. 44 12'30 S 168 18'33 E according to Google Earth.

Any ideas?

Nice. 3 outa 4 aint bad Corkey. :D
SIA yep, but not the Kaipo. Over the hill n up the river a bit....

Great thread!!
 

I have just trawled through the whole lot over the last week or so - fantastic photos. This may even rival the photos thread on rotorheads :p

Here are some of mine - Guess the locations

An easy one to start:

I guess no-one told the pilot that cross-country's are supposed to be conducted in the air! :}

I don't know them very well, never been into the Kaipo, just overhead- seen heaps of pictures though. On that strip on google earth, I've seen that once before but never landed there, must just be another one from the venison recovery but I'll do some reasearch, Know a few people who will know.

Pitterpatter
Well if it aint the Kaipo then I'm buggered if I know.. :confused: Could almost be anywhere slightly flat and clear :} The only other place which springs to mind would be that biggish hut up the hollyford (can't remember the name). Just not sure... :E

185skywagon

Spag,

No 1 pic = Darwin

Or am I going completly crazy!!!

That time of year again.
 

There is no cloud in this photo, it's the icecap at dusk. The a/c in the shot is about 6000 agl. It's a good example of why we do a lot of late night ops into the field - those crevasses would be invisible during bright sunshine.

ALLICEDUP - Your sanity is intact - Darwin indeed.

CS - Great shot. One of my aims is to do some flying down there one day

Very nice shot Stallie, what was your height when you took the shot?

Where are you now mate, I thought you were back from the land of the midnight sun.

Cheers,:ok:

We were at 9500, they were at 9000, terrain about 3000'; the pic is the lower east flank of Law Dome, east of Casey. I'm back here now for the next couple of months, it's an annual thing! :ok:

Thanks Stallie, I wouldn't mind being your pax on some of those flights.:}
