We are on Vacation and this leg is in Australia.
I met a great guy at the local airport and got a ride around the ocean and lighthouse in his MTO Sport.
I got vids and pics but will post at a later time.
Wife got jealous when I returned and she found out there were Humpbacks out in the water!
So cool seeing them from above!

This trip so far has been just incredible. Living on an island thats 27 miles long, to be able to rent a car and just amble up the East coast stopping at anything that seems interesting totally makes this one of the more relaxing trips!
Leaver here this weekend and head back for a week in Chang Mai Thailand next.

We did a stop off in Sydney for a week on our way to a dive boat in Papua New Guinea. Love the area and enjoyed quite a few VBs.

1956 Cessna 172. No letter after the 172, it's too old.

Chiang Mai... lovely place. Enjoy your time there. I spent about a week there many years ago, diverted from Bangkok because of the riots over the PM.
