Scenic Summer
Just before New Year I took E, a friend who I took flying about 4 years ago, for a scenic throught the Lower Hunter and WIlliams River Valleys. Beautiful day. CHeck it out.

Saturday of last weekend was a perfect summer morning. My 9am booking was teh first of the day so I pre-flighted the Robin and signed off the maintenance release for a full inspection. The guys were in for a committee meeting to discuss the following weeks flyin. I'm now off the committee after five years service. Good to see them. But I'm going flying.
Roar into the blue morning and climb over the top watching an inbound Cessna touch an go beneath me. I sort out positions with an inbound 737 as I climb to 5000 feet and roar into a progressive steeper angled wingovers until I'm pushing the VNE and haul back on the stick for a loop. Some rolls, stall turns and another loop and I'm decending fast back into the pattern, pulling a tight turn onto downwind, checks, talking to an inbound commuter flight, then pulling a surprisingly delicate landing to turn onto the first taxiway and declare the runway clear for her.
Felt good after more than two months away from the G-Force.
