its a good flight up there, the first time I done that flight I was sure we were going to get into trouble for low flying, haven't done it too many times but always seems very low in a built up area going over the end of the harbour bridge. looks like you had a good day for it

Hey VF was that harbour bridge visit on Saturday afternoon? Sitting watching my daughter's cricket match at Waverton Park (just off to the left of your picture) I noticed a Bell looping around - a bit different from the usual R44s - and thought to myself 'I wonder if that's VF?'

VF,
You must have gotten the only non-rain days in Sydney for the last little while !
EXY - owned by a very nice chap who also has a 407. It's a nice machine and well looked after by Billy and his boys at BK Helis.
I look at your pics, with great flying, amazing scenery, happy wife (happy life) and simply wonder what would possess you to want to come back to boring old Australia !
Good on you. Keep living the dream.
Remain clear of Australia, where GA is being beaten to death.

VF,
The days of 409 - best remembered by the weekend warriors in a 22 making traffic calls - quite often accompanied by the Low Rotor Horn in the background!!

A change of scenery
Well look who's in town! Nice timing VF, January the wettest month in Siderley for 30 years.
And, just for the record, I always wait for the R22 low rotor RPM horn to mute before making radio calls.
