I must stop sightseeing with live weather
Posted: Tue Sep 28, 2021 5:17 amRotorua was suggested as a place to go fly, to see if I could see steam at Whakarewarewa. But all I could see was rain on the canopy so I pointed the nose north.
Ok, That has to be Huntly under me because I just passed Taupiri and I'm not up to the lake yet, and I can see McVie Rd, and the quarry, so where the heck is the speedway trac- ooooh, wow that's hard to spot. (and it'll be even harder on the downsized images posted here
)
One day I'll remember to dump the external tanks before I take off. Although they're mounted on hardpoints like any other ordinance, I guess I could always jettison them ...
Just occurred to me that there's a very solid cloud layer between me and Ardmore. But there is a hole big enough to dive through, so .....
Yeeha ! Down the chute and over the Hunua dam
Looks like Auckland, I made it ! Wonder where Ardmore is.
Classic warbird curved approach.
And down. Not my best landing ever but certainly not my worst either, the plane was able to flown again after this one !
